How about this.....why waste the LW spot alongside Lindholm by giving it to Dube?
Because if the Backlund line is set and operating successfully as our most important line, (and was by far Mangiapane's most successful combination) and the Huberdeau-Kadri line is the line expected to be our primary scoring line, as Huberdeau showed zero chemistry with Lindholm, then Lindholm's LW options are:

- Dube
- Lucic
- Pelettier
- Ruzicka
- Trevor Lewis
- Duerr

Out of this group, if Ruzicka is a healthy scratch for some reason Dube actually seems to be the best option!
