He's really good friends with Monahan and he trains in the off-season with both Mony and Gio in Ontario. I think the chance to play with Monahan is the biggest reason he's a Flame
With Tre saying they could transition Lindholm to centre I'd love to see:
Tkachuk - Lindholm - Mangiapane
Gaudreau - Monahan - Leivo
Bennett - Backlund - Dube
Lucic - Ryan - Simon
Nordstrom/Rinaldo
Bennett had success with Backlund as a rookie and he looked great with Dube in the playoffs so I like that 3rd line a lot
