I don't get the people saying Lindholm isn't elite or doesn't make his wingers better.
Last year both Gaudreau and Tkachuk had career years (granted Tkachuk improved on it again this year). This year his two most common line mates are Toffoli and Dube and they both have career years as well.
Whether you want to sign him for 8 years and commit to Huberdeau, Kadri and Lindholm as your top 3 paid players is certainly a reasonable debate, but Lindholm is a #1C and will be for a while.
