Well, we disagree. Lindholm has scored less in every season and plays a lesser position. he's arguably better defensively, but we don't even know that, in the context of the different roles. Defence as a centre is way harder.
Even if Lindholom scores more this year, with a crystal ball the GMs would take the guy who's been a scoring machine every year for 6 years versus the guy who only blossomed after being traded, and who cracked the 16 goal hurdle only last year.
Is he having a better year than Monahan this year? In goals, yes. But GMs aren't so shortsighted as to think this year is representative of either player.
