Thank you for the lecture on statistics, too.
If you apply the same logic to the others on that list, I suspect we'd be looking at a similar variance between Lindholm and the others listed.

It has nothing to do with defending the Flames. Taking out Makar, Tkachuk, and Toews’ best season takes them off the list, too.
It’s just not a relevant point because of that. If Lindholm is only on the list because of Tkachuk, then Tkachuk is only on the list because of Lindholm, and it’s no coincidence that there are batches of players that play together (or did) on that list.
At the end of the day it’s just an impressive list to be on. Nobody should feel the need to twist and turn and panic that somebody is going to sign Lindholm to a billion dollars just because he’s on the list. Why put effort into finding some reason to minimize something that makes a current and former Flame look good? It was a great season that Lindholm was a big part of. Why do you as a fan, or any fan really, feel the need to ensure nobody talks about it and nobody is impressed by it?
