If your argument is that there are no better options available right now, sorry but your argument is wrong. There are better options.
You are missing my point. I think he figures the forwards overall aren’t good enough, and that’s true IMO. We’ve all talked about the pairs concept - two better players with a complimentary guy. Lots of teams do this. So he’s looking for a guy who’s not a top 6 player to work with the other two.

IMO there’s only two 3 man lines that have worked really well: Lucic-Backlund-Mangiapane and Lucic-Bennett-Dube, and I have my doubts that the latter is sustainable. So, yeah, he’s cycled guys on the Lindholm and Monahan lines to try and find something that works.
