The coaching staff, who analyze everything with video, analytics, being around the players all the time (games, practices, dressing room, on the bench etc) came away with this idea: Lindholm is the best centre on the team.
It would be interesting how they rank best wingers (if you include Lindholm as a winger) but ultimately you have to ask how is it best for team to have the best centre on the wing.
I'm not advocating one way or the other I'm just adding this piece of information to this thread. At about 1hr:25min for Gelinas

Thanks, Dude. That was interesting
They definitely are set that they want to use Lindholm at C
It is interesting that he says
-it was time to give Lindholm a chance, think he works with Tkachuk and Dube looks like he has fit in well with them
- they know Backs will work with whomever he plays with
- wrt Monahan, he credits his leadership and willingness to accept a role, and that they like him and Johnny as a pair
-it is just a matter of finding who will work with Johnny and Monny. “Is it Simon? Is it Lievo?” And he credits Treliving for giving them a lot of options
To me this has emerged as a weakness of Treliving. If you are moving Lindholm off their wing, I would think you want to shop for a winger that complements them, not a warm body / minimum wage guy that doesn’t play at the same level
Also he said he thinks they have 4 lines that they can put up against anyone. They really buy in to this idea
There seems to be a lot of ‘hope as a strategy’ in Tre’s work
Also I agree with GioforPM about Dube being a good fit for Monahan and Johnny. I see a good future for him
