It's a tough comparison to make.
Offensively I don't think Lindholm really holds a candle to Tkachuk. Tkachuk is clearly the superior playdriver in the offensive sense with his IQ, creativity and playmaking being a couple notches above Lindholm's. Tkachuk is no slouch defensively himself but you obviously have to give the large edge to Lindholm in that respect due to positional responsibilities and skating ability.
Both are critically important pieces to the success of this team and compliment one another wonderfully.
