Lindholm had over 40 goals and 80 points while being incredibly strong defensively. His case is looking pretty strong right now
This team is really deep as well. Mangiapane, Toffoli, Kadri have all scored 30. Backlund was 13th in Selke votes last year and Coleman plays a strong 2way game. This team can roll 3-4 lines and 3 pairs with ease. The Hall of Fame coach also gives the group a trusted valuable voice.
I think this team has a great shot at the Jennings next year but likely won’t be as prolific offensively. I truly feel they are better suited for the playoffs than last year due to their depth up the middle and improved back end

I agreed. I think they have a St Louis type team. If everything goes right, everyone shows up and play well they can certainly win it
But they don’t have Kucherov/Hedman, McKinnon/Makar, Kane/Toews, Crosby/Malkin that put the whole team on their back and carry them to the cup
