They compliment each other well but Elias Lindholm is a center as mentioned. Before Lindholm came to the Flames he didn't have the stats like he does now but he's still a good player on his own.
I like Tkachuk a lot but Lindholm's contract alone is another consideration.
I don't know if I could say one is better than the other though, Tkachuk will get paid a lot more and already is with his current contract.
I'd have to say it's a draw honestly and Tkachuk plays a bit of a different roll as a power forward/winger compared to the Selke like center. You can compare them on quite a few levels actually.
Lindholm is really on an underrated contract.
