Lindholm looked more effective without Gaudreau and I wonder if the top line is relying too much on Gaudreau to carry the puck and make the play.

This. Lindholm doesn't just magically stop being the teams leading goal scorer. He's not soft, something just seems off. And honestly I don't see the whole "hes the worst of the three" point of view. He is the only one of the 3 that plays in all situations.
Its kind of amazing how fast posters here can turn against players. And let's not neglect the point that Lindholm instantly turned it around when he switched line today. Played faster, harder and created more offense than he did most of this series.
I honestly think the Johnny must have the puck at all times playbook is needlessly alive and well.
