Putting Lindholm with Tkachuk just sets up the entire forward group.
All kinds of great options for their winger: Dube, Mangiapane, Simon, Leivo
Then slot in an RQ for Gaudreau/Monahan: Leivo, Mangiapane, Simon
And you still have Backlund, Bennett, and 2 of the guys listed above, for the bottom 6.
With a shortened and condensed schedule, where you play the same 6 teams over and over, depth will be more important this year than ever. And the Flames are very deep at forward.
