I think they need a centre but even more than that they need a playmaking centre that can carry the puck up the ice and distribute. I think that's why Backlund has been having such good seasons offensively lately. He carries the puck and makes good decisions on passing or driving the net.
Lindholm is a bit opposite offensively. He needs someone to get the puck to him in soft areas.
Kadri can carry but doesn't find his linemates. That works well on a transition but doesn't produce a lot.
So basically the brains of Backlund with the speed and skating of Kadri. Should be easy to get
