Lindholm can't cover the defensive zone ice half as well if he's limited to wing assignments.
This is also my issue with Bennett on the wing in most cases. You're basically taking away these two players' best assets.

They just play first man back covers low in the D zone anyways. Listen to them in interviews. Gaudreau might switch out for Monahan or Lindholm, but even if Lindholm was the designated C, Monahan would play low if he is first back.
This isn't as significant of an issue as you are making it. Especially with those two, since they switch out to take faceoffs on their strong side anyways.
