I think the obvious reason is that Lindholm, Monahan and Gaudreau were crushing it on the top line, and the team was one of the best in the NHL. The reason the Flames are now more interested in seeing what Lindholm has to offer at centre has less to do—I believe—with pre-existing concerns about his performance there, and more to do with how the team as a whole played in the playoffs.
