For years I had buddies tell me AO wouldn’t score as many goals as he does without Backstrom. Backstrom really isn’t that good anymore yet AO still scores
Tkachuk needs a Johnny but if he has a guy get the puck from zone to zone he’s elite from the blue line down. Great along the boards great possession and maybe the best in the league around the net. Lots of guys are good in transition. Johnny is special for sure but Tkachuk is pretty good himself

Sure, all of this is fair and accurate.
Claiming Tkachuk set up more Lindholm goals than Johnny though sounds like a reach to make a point. If it’s accurate, I’d be shocked and apologize.
