I know it’s pure fantasy, but I actually think Lindgren would be a really solid 4th line forward and Miller would be a really good middle six winger.
Since our defense is an absolute shit show and massive changes are needed, I would honestly stand and applaud any coach who’d even consider giving either a look at a different position. I clearly wouldn’t advocate this normally - I wouldn’t suggest Zib or Laf of Kreider or really anyone else switch positions, but Miller was a forward, his decision making as a D is a hinderance, but his physical tools, size, skating, etc. make it very realistic for me that having FAR less responsibility as a winger would actually be tremendous for him (anyone remember a Brent Burns went from D to F back to D? As did Byfuglien). Lindgren just doesn’t have enough juice left in the tank to be a 20 minute a night D man, but he would make a great high energy, forechecker and backchecker playing 10 min per night. I’m honestly dead serious. What better year to try something radical than this?
