Sutter has even acknowledged how critical the centre ice position is to win in the playoffs, because that position can dictate so much in all 3 zones.

I'm not comparing anything to the Oilers. They have that type of centre but are a tire fire everywhere else.
That's what I said he can't do anything because he has no one.

It worked very well with Lindholm being the responsible two way center allowing his forwards to drive the play. That's who he is, he's fine but he needs another winger and Dube isn't it.
