Yeah, an alternative is moving Lindholm back to C, on the second line, and pursuing top six RWs.
Lindholm is a good 2C in this league, adding his new level of point production to already having the faceoffs down and experience at the position. He's got the edge on Backlund if moved full time to the middle IMO.
A good RW will be easier for Treliving to net than a good center.
Connolly (#1 target for me), Zuccarello, Williams are FA options. But a trade from our D for a winger would be the route I would take.
And if you have a sliver of a chance at Pavelski then you jump on that, of course.
