I think when people are comparing Forsberg and Lindholm. They notice similarities in the way they can retain possession of the puck in traffic, withstand physical play and their vision. I don't think they are comparing there respective abilities to rack up PIMs.
At the end of the day both Monahan and Lindholm are great prospects. It's likely we end up with one of the two. I'll be happier with Lindholm because his board work/possession game is some of the best I've seen in a prospect and imo has a much higher offensive ceiling that Monahan.
Drafting a 50-60 point, elite, two way center would be great if we already had a number one center. In our case we have to go with the player with more potential.
