Didn't Toffoli have a career year playing with Lindholm? Their line was not the issue, it was the only reason we were in the hunt last year.
I want Lindholm with Huberdeau, if they can't figure it out again this year then we may have to go in a different direction. Assuming Lindholm isn't signed before the season.
IMO Backlund and Huberdeau is not a good combo as Backlund needs to do what Backlund does and Huberdeau the same. Completely different responsibilities.
Kadri and Huberdeau IMO won't click as Kadri just doesn't use his team mates well and is more throw everything at the net where Huberdeau is looking to be creative.
If we want to be a contender, line 1 needs to be elite. Lindholm and Huberdeau needs to click otherwise we will be a middle of the pack team for as long as we have them.
