I'm a little disappointed to hear the Brodie is playing on the left side again, but oh well.

Yeah, don't want to break up the top line, but think about how the 3M (2M+?) line plays. They aren't a classic shutdown smothering line - they outplay, outscore and kick the other lines' butts. If Lindholm can do this as well as Backlund then they don't really lose an offensive threat by moving him to that line.
