But he's just so good everywhere, why don't we try him back on Monahan's wing, not as punishment but morseo to balance the rest of the top 9.

Gaudreau-Monahan-Lindholm
Tkachuk-Backlund-Mangiapane
Lucic-Bennett-Dube

Then put whoever on the 4th line, with Ryan out it's probably something like Nordstrom/Froese/Leivo-Simon tonight.
Someone can correct me if wrong, but isn’t Lindholm adamant on playing center and not having to flip back and forth? If true, then he has every right to choose what he wants to do. His say comes before Bennett.

I would like to try Monahan on the wing if possible. Have Backlund, Gaudreau, and Monahan on a line.
