Just browsing some top teams lineups and Lindholm looks like he would be an excellent fit on NYR.
The Rangers currently have Blake Wheeler as their top line RW. They have Kakko (3pts in 20 gms) and Chytil (6pts in 10 gms) both on LTIR. Their 3rd line is Cuylle-Bonino-Brodzinski. Who?
If Chytil comes back (I believe he is having a really rough go with concussions) he is a good top 6 player. Kakko has been given a lot of leash, including early time on the top lines, and has 7pts in 29 playoff games for them - I'd be looking for an upgrade if I was their GM.
If Gabe Perreault is available I'd consider Lindholm 1-for-1 plus whatever needs to be worked out cap wise. I doubt he is, but NYR still has their next two firsts and some other decent prospects, so I think they'd be a solid trading partner.
