Now consider that this is an off year for Lindholm and he should be good for at least 65 points per season. GMs aren’t dumb enough to base him off a 46 game sample size. If anything some teams may be more enticed to bring him in and be able to extend him at cheaper than what he would’ve been going for in the summer.

It’s not about ‘is he good.’ Of course he is.
It’s about ‘what is he worth to a contender as a late season rental/depth add.’
Contenders already have a guy like Lindholm. He’s going there to cover if that person gets hurt, or to elevate the 3rd line. That’s just facts.
