Leivo should have just been a savvy contingency plan, not plan A for our top line
But the reality is right wing was a major issue for our team this off season and Brad’s plan to address that was to move our best option to center and backfill by taking flyers on guys making league minimum or close
The obsession with moving Lindholm to center is strange to me. It’s neutered the top line and we already had a good second line with Backlund. So logic being gut the top line to marginally improve the third? I don’t know but it’s a failure
