Three very good second lines is also an interesting strategy. We almost had that last rebuild but GMBT got impatient and went UFA shopping.

I think the organization has been searching for that 2nd guy behind Monny but never got it done, just like the failed trade for Kadri the first time around.
Feel like they always viewed it as #1Monny, #3 Backlund so we needed that 2nd guy.
They tried it out when they flipped Lindholm to C in the 19/20 season, but they also started doing weird things like put Backlund on the wing. Unfortunately, that is when the injuries really derailed Monny during that time.
So, they went and signed Kadri to create that Lindholm/Kadri/Backlund trio but Lindholm couldn't carry a line.
Zary seems to be tracking to be a really good #2C, so finding a play driving #1 will be a game changer.
