Given better circumstances, there is no reason at all to believe that he couldn't be a 100 pt player again. He just needs a better situation. (and yes, he chose very poorly)
So now, try the same exercise with Lindholm, without the everything-Flames-is-garbage bias - he is still the player he was, he is simply in a bad situation and needs change. (that is not directed at you, cam_calderon)

Commentary pointing out Lindholm is not a No.1 centre in the traditional, play-driving sense is fair, I think. He isn't and never really was that. I think there's a fit for him in Colorado, Boston and most likely Vancouver, if Alvin decides they're all in.
Does he fetch a first rounder? We'll see.
