I'm not arguing that Lindholm is better than Bennett, because he has accomplished more. Lindholm scored 44 points while playing at the top of Carolina's line-up including being on the #1 PP unit and playing 2:37 of PP time a game, not exactly great numbers.
The jump between Lindholm and Bennett is not that big when you're considering offensive output, and when the team is trying to increase offensive output throughout the line-up - subtracting one to add the other just makes very little sense in my eyes.
