Not sure if it's a surprise that he's a better goalscorer then Vatanen, maybe when they both broke into the league given Vatanen had a booming slap shot which grapped people's attention but once you see them both play (at least IMO) it's easy to see that Lindholm has the 'better' shot, in the sense that while he doesn't have the power Vatanen does Lindholm has always had this uncanny ability to pick gaps and place his shots perfectly be it for a shot on goal or a tip from a forward while Vatanen more is a guy who tries to overpower goaltenders.
Lindholm actually has more NHL goals then Vatanen and has more goals then Vatanen each of the last 3 seasons. Can easily see Lindholm pushing 40-45 points depending on what sort of ice time he gets, his offensive game goes a bit under the radar I think.
