We already tried Huberdeau - Lindholm - Sharangovich and they didn't generate much of anything this season. Coleman - Lindholm - Sharangovich has the potential to be a great 2 way line, and potentially increase Lindholm's trade value.
Because you're putting two guys who are doing nothing on the same line. You can get more out of Mangiapane by putting him with Coleman and Backlund. Coleman has no business being on the top line.

Didn't we only try the Huberdeau - Lindholm - Sharangovich line in the pre-season?bit wasn't for any amount of time during the regular season..Sharangovich wasn't great to start the season and was on the 4th line, now he's shooting well.

Give the guy who shoots the playmaker, not a grinder.
