I get that some people want to see if Zary can be a center, but if the Flames thought he could be a center I don't think they would have gone out and brought in Frost.

Finding lines that click is more valuable. Create the 3 best lines you can and go with it. Flames picked up Lindholm thinking he would be a great 2nd center. He clicked on the wing with Monahan and Gaudreau and they rolled with it for the year and won the conference.
I see 11 guys competing for 9 spots though, if all 11 are looking good to be in the top 9 and healthy, we need to look at moving someone.
This doesn't include any surprises from AHL players in camp too. Have to think someone will push for a spot, probably 2 guys
