They are not comparable lol

Kopitar led his team in scoring 16 of the last 17 years.
He drives their offense and won 2 cups

Only time Lindholm scored more than 64 pts was when BOTH his line mates scored more than him…. Yeah yeah he is a center and defensively responsible. That’s the only thing somewhat common

Lindholm wants more money and probably will get it because that is the market now but he is not and has never been as important as Kopitar to his team

GMs understanding this. That’s why Conroy is having problem dealing him for fair price. Tkachuk was gone in an instant because he was a real deal.
