Lindholm is great value for what he brings as a centre, and fill in on the top 6 nicely. What's lacking is another centre who contributes as a good level top 6 centre also since the team lacks a high end one. If Monahan, or if another centre is brought in that can contribute close to as well as Lindholm did, and Tkachuk + Gaudreau (and Eat Bread) continue to perform as they did in the late part of the season, the team up front would have a lot better results, and be in good shape to compete.

So you think it's a good idea to keep both Gaudreau and Tkachuk, extend them, and have the Flames two highest paid forwards for the next 6+ years be flawed left shot wingers who are both making north of $8 million or maybe even north of $9 million AAV each?
