I suspect the goal is to ice a competitive team this year. The way many GM’s approach things is they’ll figure it out when the time comes. In fact, I’d say that happens to almost all of them at some point.

Whether it’s Lindholm’s, who I suspect Gaudreau is pulling for or Schiefele, I’d be surprised if the BJ’s aren’t looking to improve at C, right now.

Even if they would be looking for a center (which I don't see) they are much better of getting a veteran C with 2-3 years left on his deal than Lindholm who ties them up for eight.
