I think both Tkachuk and Lindholm can "drive play" (which is IMO an overused term). They both can make plays, and Lindholm is a good puck carrier. FWIW Monahan can too.
But in any event, I think the top six is comparable to most really good teams in the league. Three extremely high level guys, two really good ones and one competent one who fills a niche.
