I am a bit worried about picking Lindholm now. He is a streaky player and tends to prioritize passing over shooting ala Tangauy. I think this would drive people mad. He also doesn't have as good a shot as Tangs it is only average. Infact, he only had 3 even strength goals(yikes). His sh% was a bit high while his shot totals low which signals that what he did is probably unsustainable.
He didn't really catch fire till he was moved to wing and put on a line with Calle Jarnkrok so there is questions whether he can actually produce as a center, produce on his own and be more consistent(he went cold the last half of the season).
Monahan on the other hand was consistent all year had a more even split of ES goals and did it while having no one decent to play with on his team. His NHLE was 33 to Lindholms 40 but I feel like if he had a guy like Jarnkrok on his line + didn't have the added responsibilities of playing center his numbers would have been similar. Add in Monahans intangibles like size and leadership and I now beileve he is the guy.
