Ya, I'll take the younger better player every time. Lindholm gets criminally underrated around here. To me a fair comparison is Bergeron. Not saying he's at Bergeron's level, but when you look at the numbers from age 23-28, you see Lindholm has better offensive numbers. Slower start to his career for sure. However when did Bergeron have his career year? Age 33. Personally I don't think Lindholm has reached his peak as a centre. I feel like we will regret letting Lindholm go if we let him walk. If he refuses to sign, then that's a different thing. If he's willing to sign, get it done.
