I don’t think Lindholm was acquired to be a centre. He didn’t skated as a RW right from the start of camp when we acquired him.
I think moving Lindholm to centre this season also had to do with the fact that the Flames were trying to move Monahan for Anderson.
Lindholm
Backlund
Bennett
Ryan
Is what I believe the centre depth would have been had Treliving been able to acquire Anderson.
Which is also something to keep in mind on any returns for Monahan. Columbus chose Max Domi over Monahan in a return for Anderson.
