Last 5 years
Lindholm - 369 games, 139 goals, 186 assists, 325 points, 0.88 pts/g, +99
Horvat - 356 games, 137 goals, 138 assists, 275 points, 0.77 pts/g, -23
Lindholm is clearly the better player both defensively and offensively as we sit here today.

Thanks, was just about to post the same.
The comparison isn't even close, and the media says the same.
This is without adding in the relationship and chemistry already established between Johnny and Elias, that holds value as you know the 2 had career years with each other, often times guys are brought in hoping they develop instant chemistry with top line guys and it doesn't pan out (see Lindholm + Huberdeau)
If Columbus wants Lindholm, and in fact are offering the 3rd this is the perfect start to Craig putting his stamp on the franchise. Exciting, I hope its at least something they discuss/look at.
