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?

I love it as a fan. But in a negotiating stance, it’s a different story.
I don’t see how we are debating that season was an outlier in his career, which was the point.
