Points never tell the whole story. Lindholm's goal was a powerplay gimme, and many of his goals in the past have been of a similar nature.
IMO Lindholm is much like Stamkos in Tampa. He's an useful second line center who can produce on the powerplay. Maybe Stamkos brings a bit more offensively and Lindholm a bit more defensively, but neither guy is a number one center regardless of how many points they pick up in a game or season. You need a "Brayden Point" playing ahead of that "Stamkos" doing the game-taking-overing. This is why we need to acquire a guys of the tier of Eichel or Wright or Bedard
