I don't subscribe to the Athletic, but it sounds like he isn't taking Lindholm into account. The guy is a difference-maker, and brings elements to his game (speed, tenacity without the puck, ability to gain the blue line) that the Flames desperately need in their top-6. Before the trade, Duhatschek thought the player in the league that the Flames should go after was Lindholm.
