Lindholm is not a play driver. Unless he’s on a team that has a Gaudreau or Pastrnak on his wing, he will not be able to carry his own line.
Tocchet keeps using him as our 3C when literally every single Canucks fan has been screaming he should be putting him on the wing with Pettersson. He’s not going to be able to carry or elevate 2nd/3rd line wingers if he’s going to be used at center.
He’s terrific in faceoffs and he’s been solid defensively aside from a couple of games, but his compete level certainly raises eyebrows at times.
He’ll do well at center with elite wingers. Otherwise, he’s probably better suited as a winger himself. Definitely a buyer beware signing.
