Lindholm wasn't the target just for his production. He plays the bumper on the power play which is the one position the Canucks have struggled to fill since Horvat left, trying Boeser (better net front), Miller (better on the half wall), and Kuzmenko (better net front). He was brought in because he wins draws. He was brought in because he kills penalties.
He checks every box for what the Canucks needed in a forward right now.
