Eric Francis of Sportsnet: The Calgary Flames plan on moving Elias Lindholm to his natural position of center, forming a new top line to start.
“It certainly is an option. I think with the depth we’ve acquired in free agency we can take a look at that. We know how the other lineup fits together and are comfortable with that. But he was a really effective player for us in the middle.”
The Flames hope to spread out their scoring more this season and have less pressure on Sean Monahan and Johnny Gaudreau for all the offense.
