Which is hard to fathom considering Monahan was pretty bad himself.
The problem is, there’s no clear cut elite #1 center on this team. So they kind of have to go with best of the bunch of method. I think Backlund would be formidable as the team’s #1 pivot, but his finishing skills are subpar. Even when Tkachuk was serving it on to a silver platter, Backlund still failed to convert. Lindholm is the better finisher, so i can see why he’s up there.
