Elisas is a good center, but le'd not kid ourselves, he was not a line driver nor a player that could not have been easily replaced.
Plug Backlund in there and see how that goes.

Lindholm was second in Selke votes to Hall of famer Bergeron, that’s like being second in Norris votes to Lidstrom.

Lindholm has a wicked shot and knows how to get there, there aren’t many defensive centers that also put up 40 goals.
