I disagree with your opinion. His hockey IQ is IMO off the charts. The problem for a lot of people I think is he makes hard plays look super simple.
My one knock against Lindstrom is learning how to slow the game down to make plays.
Helenius doesn't need to learn that, in fact, he's so intuitive he knows how to position his opposition to make his plays.
It's the tiniest details in his game that make him IMO elite.
Like I said earlier, he doesn't jump out at you with his play, but his efficiency is crazy.
I recommend taking a deeper dive into the player, he's quite special.
