Player Discussion Elias Viktor Zebulon Lindholm

[crackdown44]

Lindholm has now set a new career high for both goals and points

Bigger steal Gaudreau in 4th round of the NHL draft or me taking lindholm in the 10th round of my fantasy draft?

Oh baby. I did the same thing. Lindholm as the 2nd last pick overall at the draft.

 

[Volica]

At this point, Fox has to be the second coming of Phil Housley to even up the trade.

Do you know what kind of L Carolina takes if:
Ferland signs elsewhere.
Fox signs elsewhere.
Dougie continues playing at his Dougie levels.

Like. The worst kind of L.

 

[Mobiandi]

If the Canes keep it up like this, Dougie might consider moving on too once he hits free agency so he can get paid

 

[Ace Rimmer]

 

[Mr Snrub]

Odds are people out east likely still think Carolina won the trade

How many here changed there minds about Lindholm during the season?

I didn't. I was over the moon about landing him from the second it was announced. When we acquired him, I described him as a bigger, younger, more physical version of Backlund. I also predicted he's put up more assists this year than he had for a career high in points. He's surprised me in the goal scoring department, but that was a nice little cherry on top.

Puts in an honest effort every night and hasn't seen any sort of slump, even with Monahan and Gaudreau struggling. Monahan<Lindholm and I'm not ashamed to admit it. He's driving play on that line and is actually a pretty good skater. If we had taken Lindy years ago and put him with Gaudreau, I think he would've ended up as good as mony if not better. Canes fans had a real good one, and I'm happy he found his way here.

I am floored with the player he turned out to be.

I liked Elias Lindholm more than Monahan 6 years ago.
He's the more complete player, and I really love that he's been given the chance to actually play with some elite NHL talent.

He's not a guy you could put with two scrubs and expect a lot of points from, but if he gets to play up to his level his production will come. The big thing as well is how honest of a player Lindy is; like you know every night he'll give you solid PK minutes, he'll make the right play, he'll create, he'll make good defensive reads.

I really do believe that the surge of Gaudreau as a top player in this league has a lot to do with playing with Elias; almost as much as Lindholm turning into a big point producer the other way. When there's someone on your line you can trust on both ends of the ice, and allows you to play your game; it goes a really long way.

 

[DCDM]

I really don't want to discredit Monahan here but I gotta agree, Lindholm is a better all-around player. He's better defensively and he drives offense more than Monahan does. I think Monahan has a better shot and they're both quite good at finding the right spot to be in, but Lindholm is more like Gaudreau in how he sees the ice and creates opportunities. Both Gaudreau and Lindholm have an innate ability to slow the game down and make things happen, while Monahan I think is the best finisher out of the trio.

What a fantastic group of players to have on your top line. Truly blessed.

 

[super6646]

Fun fact, Lindy has he same offensive stat line Gaudreau had in his rookie season: 24G 40A 64pts

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

Gaudreau - Spezza
Lindholm - Alfredsson
Monahan - Heatley

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Gaudreau - Spezza
Lindholm - Alfredsson
Monahan - Heatley

Eh. I dunno if I like that comparison that much. The Alfie one I'll give you, but Gaudreau is far more dynamic than Spezza ever was (and smarter, and faster), and Heatley was good at pretty much one thing only.

I watched a lot of that trio in their heyday.

Is Lindholm named after Zebulon "Zeb" Macahan? James Arness was one of the most popular American TV actors ever in Sweden I would say.

 

[Fig]

July 2018:
Flames GM thinks Elias Lindholm is a 'player that's gonna pop' - Sportsnet.ca

The GM feels good about his prediction that Lindholm will “pop”

What happens:

The dude's scoring goes out of control.

Monahan's POV:

Immediate spark.


EDIT: Fun fact, apparently Elias Lindholm is the youngest Swedish player to score an NHL goal.

Reading Swedish press and Internet sites, I am right about this one, very cool, I liked Zeb Macahan so much!

(Perhaps everybody already knew this except me....)

 

[Deen]

Lindy became a fan favourite after mocking the Canes.

 

[Eye of Ra]

how badly injured is he? team sweden needs him.

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

So I am doing my yearly spreadsheeting for my fantasy hockey teams and one of the surprising names to appear in my top-10 is Elias Lindholm. Basically I weight stat categories based on what the rest of the players in my data set have done (basically the player's stat divided by the total amount of that stat that occurred in the league that year, then I divide it into 1 so that I get a number > 1 to multiply their personal results by). Elias Lindholm is #9 in my current iteration (although I'm still tweaking things). Usually when this happens (a player I don't expect appearing very high), it means a player is getting a huge contribution from short-handed goals or assists (these happen so infrequently that their stat weight is some huge number). Lindholm's contribution from SHPs, when subtracted, still leaves him in the top 100 players.

This guy could be a crazy good sleeper pick this year.

 

[King In The North]

He won't be a sleeper pick. Most people know how well he played last season, although he may fall from where he is ranked because people may be leary that he can't do it again. If you are in a league with FOW and Hits, he will be valuable as he will have dual position eligibility.

 

[Volica]

oh lawl

On a high note for them, at least they had Fenton to railroad for a while; makes this trade not as bad for them.
