But moving Lindholm to Center has worked brilliantly.
Him and Monahan have 8 and 7 points at 5v5 respectively which places them both in the top 30 among centres.
Having Lindholm, Monahan, Backlund, and Bennett as the 4 centres could be huge in the playoffs, they just need to find a mix that works on RW.
Tkachuk - Lindholm - ???
Gaudreau - Monahan - ???
Mangiapane - Backlund - ???
Lucic - Bennett - Dube
Up to the coaching staff and GM to find pieces that work to fill those three spots. Whether it’s among Ryan, Leivo, Simon, Gawdin, Phillips, Robinson, etc or by making a trade.

I agree and would try:
Tkachuk - Lindholm - Phillips
Gaudreau - Monahan - Ryan
Mangiapane - Backlund - Gawdin
Lucic - Bennett - Dube
Nordstrom needs to go. Put Robinson in for the physical games. Use Leivo and Simon as fillers.
