You realize they did that with Lindholm when they put him at Center last year. They talked about putting him at C and he said he wanted either 8 or 10 games to settle in, I forget which
They also without necessarily publicizing anything, rode through a 10-12 game pointless streak of Mangiapane’s with Backlund and Tkachuk
Players don’t like the blender and coaches do place them with consistent linemates to allow chemistry or comfort to develop
It’s really not a big deal
