Might be why his 5/5 numbers are good?
RNH plays on the leagues best PP with two superstars. But he’s still a part of the success of that PP (and actually has shown good points when playing with them 5/5)
Playing with good players is always a boon for another good player
I would take Lindholm over RNH , but it don’t think the gap is huge and actually think RNH is a bit underrated

Factor for sure ... but I'm not saying anything contrary to that.
Both players play with good players, but when a bigger percentage comes from the powerplay you're not part of driving five on five play as much as playing on the league's best powerplay in this time period.
And Nugent Hopkins has played 605 minutes with McDavid and 570 with Draisaitl five on five in the last three years.
Not as much as Lindholm with Gaudreau and Tkachuk, but then he only had the top ten scorer Gaudreau and Tkachuk for one of those seasons.
