I think Steinberg and Lou are out to lunch on talking about Lindholm in the same breath as Bergeron. Tkachuk is the closest thing we have to that quality of player, and like you said he’s a winger so the defensive responsibilities aren’t quite as high.
(and I really like Lindholm - but he’s an RW, and not in the same tier of player as Bergeron)

Tkachuk? Tkachuk has no ability to play up the middle at all. If anything, Tkachuk is cut from the same cloth as a Brad Marchand. An elite winger who can drive play, play in the hard areas and irritate his opponents.
