I'm hoping that if we can land Lindholm, that our brutal RW depth will force Peters to play him with Gaudreau and Monahan. ALso hoping that with Backlund, Frolik and Brouwer, he might not be as quick top stick him in a defensive role.
I mean, Chucky was thrown into a defensive role and the guy was on pace for 60 points this year. That being said, I do think you could do a lot with a guy like Lindholm, he could essentially be a major part in all three top 9 lines.
Will resist any urge to comment about Brouwer being a defensive player ahead of most. To be fair, he plays a lot of defence, because he never has the puck when he's on the ice.
