How would this be a good move? I understand that the Flames need better play from their centers, but the problem in my opinion isn't so much about the quantity as it is about the quality. Playing PLD, Monahan, Lindholm, Backlund 15 minutes a night without any winger depth doesn't seem ideal to me.
Instead, playing your 3 top centers 16-18 minutes paired with an elite winger is much better. Gaudreau was 4th in Hart Trophy voting less than 2 years ago and has been integral to the team's success since he arrived. Without him, I don't think the Flames even make the playoffs.
