If you're trading Lindholm to Columbus you're targeting Sillinger or Johnson. Foudy would be a terrible return for your top center. The draft picks are fine, but this is the draft you want them in. Give Columbus credit, they recognized this draft was quality and loaded up with 11 picks. They have potential to really turn their fortunes around in the next couple of years. Some nice pieces there.
Kadri is a second line center. If he's forced into that number one slot, like Sutter tried, we're in a world of hurt. The guy just doesn't have the skill to play on the top line. Couldn't use a winger to save his life.
