Lindholm is 3 months younger than Jankowski.
Since he was drafted he is #5 in Cane scoring. He has 1.3 hits /game in in his 215 NHL games. 4th on his team over the past 3 years. Bennett is 1.5 hits/game.
If you put his 97 NHL points in 215 NHL games up against jankowski's accomplishments to date... where would you see Jankowski topping out?
If Lindholm was a Flame I know that I would still think that he has a better than 50% chance of being a #1C. Much higher upside than Backlund for instance.
