<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GhostGM92</b></div><div>I'm pretty sure last year he was on the third line at times and I seen reports that both Kadri and Backlund played better at times. Now Lindholm put up better numbers but I don't think any of them are legitimate first line centers. Not if you want to win a Stanley Cup. If you're all in this year then you should use him to upgrade. If you're not all in then do a trade like I did here getting Pinto and hope he continues to improve. I don't think the Calgary Flames will win the Stanley Cup anyways but will be competitive either way. But what I did is actually the smart move for the long-term. I would try to move Kadri too.</div></div>

Well you are either trolling or ignorant. Lindholm played over 800 minutes with the Flames leading scorer in Toffoli last year and lead all Flames forwards in average time on ice with 18:39 per game as seen <a href="https://www.hockey-reference.com/teams/CGY/2023.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">here</a>. You can even check the lines on <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/calgary-flames/line-combinations" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Daily Faceoff</a>

As for 1st line centers, last I checked Carolina and Dallas were trying to win the cup with Aho and Hintz as their 1C's, LA with Kopitar too. St. Louis won with O'Reilly, Nashville went to the finals with Johansson, and Vegas went to the finals in year 1 with W. Karlsson as their 1C.

Kadri has a full NMC for the next 3 years, he is literally unmovable. As for "trading Lindholm for an upgrade" who exactly do you have in mind? top 10 centers in the league aren't generally made available.
