Warrener brought up on their podcast a few weeks ago how it feels when the guys you are close with on the team and play on a line with are traded… how much less fun it becomes.
I could definitely see a resurgence of Lindholm in Vancouver now. I think he’ll be picking corners on his wicked release again and being a force in the offensive zone. I think he’ll be at/near a point-per-game the rest of the season.

With him coasting/mind not in the game this year, to get up to speed, literally mid season, is a challenge. I’m a bit skeptical he’ll get back to his form from a couple years ago, because it takes awhile to get back into form, but we’ll see shortly.
