Which seems reasonable. A good prospect but not an elite can't miss prospect. In general he is an intriguing player who could make the Flames a better team in a few years time. Which makes sense because he was traded in a package for a desirable asset. You can't give a pile of garbage and expect to get a diamond in return.
It is funny to see some Flames fans bend over backwards to say how awful Lindholm is and then some Canucks fans arguing that the prospects they gave up were awful.
