I noticed a few Devils' fans hee-hawing about that too saying: "Wait until Calgary finds out he isn't a centre." Regardless, if the Flames are targeting him specifically as a centre prospect, then they must feel he can be a centre, otherwise they are targeting him as a young and productive player. I am sure it isn't some secret to the organization.

I could be misremembering, but wasn't Lindholm stuck playing the wing in Carolina when we acquired him and moved him back to center?
