Well if they pulled him out of the lineup 20 games ago, while we were still in the playoff hunt, our C depth chart would have been
Lindholm
Backlund
Ryan
Gawdin
I guess they thought
Lindholm
Hipless Monahan
Backlund
Ryan
gave us a better shot at making the playoffs?
Edit: I guess an argument could be made that it would have been pointless to make the playoffs anyway, since his hip injury was making him pretty ineffective... but there's also the "anything can happen" argument that almost always makes it worth it to just get in regardless.
