There is no meaningful statistical difference between Gaudreau-Monahan-Ferland and Gaudreau-Monahan-Lindholm 5v5. The CF% and GF% were almost identical. I've posted this before, but if you want I can post it again.
The main reason people say Lindholm fit better was because he was producing on both sides of special teams and on other lines whereas Ferland's success was more exclusive to 5v5 with those two.

Sure, but forechecking is more than just that.
