I think Lindholm can provide what Backlund does with more scoring punch so I agree.
How many high end years does Backlund have an a shutdown center?
Gaudreau-Monahan-New RW
Tkachuk-Lindholm-Mangiapane
Dube-Bennett-Leivo
I don’t think the organization would do it though. They are more loyal than asset management savvy with certain players.
