The guys that have those breakout have usually consistently shown signs of more. That's MacKinnon for you.
Lindholm doesn't look like a guy about to break out. No one in Carolina seems to think that, and I didn't see that in the Carolina games I watched. (I watched some for Teräväinen and Aho, two top Finnish players.)
I think it's obvious Lindholm should improve some, he's still at an age where that happens especially for centers. But a significant offensive bump just isn't very likely.

Possible exception is that his previous coach in Carolina seems to think he has more to offer.
