I said RW because I think they like Lindholm at centre and having Lindholm+Tkachuk, Johnny+Mony, and Mang+Backlund gives us three fantastic pairs for three really good lines. I love Dube as one of the filler pieces but Leivo and Simon haven’t been great so far. Putting one of them on the third line and adding a big RW with some goal scoring talent for the Gaudreau line would be perfect. This would also allow us to have a new net front guy for PP2, a part of me dies every time I see Lucic out there. It drives me crazy how the commentators make a point of discussing the 3 halfway decent run of the mill plays he makes every game and completely ignoring his lack of footspeed, terrible penalties, how he’s generally out of position, etc. He’s bad and I don’t like him in the lineup as a regular. Against Ottawa and Edmonton as an intimidating physical presence fine, all other times he can sit on the taxi squad as far as I’m concerned, slot Nordstrom in and help us accrue cap space.
I could see them acquiring a C as well and moving Lindholm back to RW. That would be fine too honestly I just think they like Lindholm in that spot and if they can find a good target, wingers are usually cheaper than centres. Palmieri would be perfect if he wasn’t against coming to Canada, but I think he is unfortunately.
