Again. Horvat is in a different tier of player.
Horvat's career high at the time of the trade was 61 points.
Horvat has never paced for more than that total in any of his 9 NHL seasons with the exception of a 49 game stretch last year where he shot at 22%
Lindholm has an established ability to produce at a point per game rate over a substantial sample size and the skillset to compliment high end talent, Horvat hasn't.
Lindholm has been a runner up for the Selke, and has another top 10 finish to boot. Horvat does not.
Horvat is a 60 point 2C.
Lindholm a is capable 70-80 point, Selke candidate.
