As we all know after our top 3 Centers, the Leafs are not deep at this position, putting Lindholm in the mix for the 4th line duties especially with his ability to kill penalties and keep in mind that he has decent offensive skills as well
With the departure of Moore and Aaltonen the other options we have are Jooris and Gauthier. I am not sure if the management or the coaches have enough confidence to go with either. Jooris has yet to play a full season in the NHL and Gauthier hasn't impressed so far with his NHL career (at least Babcock is not)
It's going to be an interesting pre season (training camp), as I am not sure how Lindholm is going to adjust to NHL style and to the smaller rinks
