I get that a high octane line makes the defensive center accumulate the stats to win the award, but that's really cutting Lindholm's talents short.
They don't spend half of the time they did in the offensive one without him working the puck low.
Add in his ability to slip into the slot and finish and you have a player that is a huge factor in that lines success.
