Lindholm is just a body. Easily replaceable (and already has been with Moore) and he's a UFA at the end of the season anyway. Petan might be just a body too and he likely will be, but he has a far higher ceiling than Par. I'm fine with this deal.
One of these years they'll figure it out. A couple of seasons ago they started on time every night but blew all kinds of leads in the 3rd period. Now they can't be beaten in the 3rd period when holding a lead but getting to the point where they have a lead is a struggle as they get scored on first so often.
While Manfred's at it, are there any gender biases that need to be cleaned up with respect to wording? People can identify with anything nowadays. Need to make sure that's reflected.
