Compared to Fosberg who had 102 PIM in his last 50 games in Sweden before he joined Quebec.
Even the Sedins had 22 and 28 PIM in their last year in Sweden.
Seems to be extra soft even for the team the Flames have become.

Sigh..
Elias Lindholm recorded 58 hits this season. Although that may not seem like an extraordinary amount in comparison to NHL standards, that total placed him 29th overall in the entire Swedish Elite League, and first among junior aged players by 17 hits.
Taking one minor penalty all season suggests to me that he is a player with both great on ice awareness and discipline.
He is not soft by any standards, and in fact is far from it.
