On difference is shot handedness

I still want Lindholm with Monahan and Gaudreau, they need a right-handed shot on that line and he makes them both better, as well as preventing them from getting stuck in the D zone after a faceoff. Not to mention that Tkachuk is way better with Backlund than he is with Lindholm. Even if Lindholm is eventually a better 1C than Monahan, all of the top 6 aside from Lindholm have been worse with this configuration.
Having said that, at least Dube is not as much of a black hole as everyone else who has played RW on the Monahan line this year.
