Lindholm strikes me as a guy who is acutely vulnerable to expectations. I'm thinking vividly of him getting his 40th goal in the season where he, JG and MT were shooting the lights out. It seemed like as soon as he started trying to get 40 goals instead of just playing hockey, he lost focus.
Now he's playing for a contract, or to justify his trade value, or both, and he's lost focus.
