Lindholm 11 goals 30 pts in 48 games does not seem to match up favourably with Forsberg.


Why would he be 5-6 draft positions better than Forsberg ?

What intangibles would be making Lindholm a more sought after player than Forsberg?

If i remember correctly Forsberg did not rate well in his own zone play and for grit.

Have to admit i go back and forth daily on Lindholm and Monahan. Both players would be a welcome addition to the flames.

The reason that i prefer Monahan a bit more is my dream that he and Jankowski work out. Imagine having 2, 6'2"-6'3" centers in the top 6. That could win a playoff round alone if they are both legit top 6 . Add Sven and Johnny Hockey running around the 2 big guys, could be a treat to watch.
