Put lindholm on the top line with pasta and zacha, they have similar styles of play, pasta desperately needs someone to play center that knows how to win faceoffs and set him up, but also be able to score. This takes defenceman off pasta and evens the pressure a little. Coyle 2 c with marchand and either geekie or a young guy, but hopefully a cheap vet pickup depending on swaymans contract.
I mean he plays with Pasta and Zacha or Marchand. Coyle continues to be your 2c and Poitras is your 3c. Ideally halfway through the year if Poitras is showing growth you'd like to swap him and Coyle but yeah. You certainly aren't looking for another center right now. Come the trade deadline you might want to upgrade but you are fine with what you have in house.

I wonder if we can eventually flip Elias as a 2nd line center to Edmonton for draisatl. Give em a pick and a prospect as well.
