Based on the above, Lindy will make a good Canuck.
I think when we shed Darryl, it was only half the problem. That's why the group looked virtually the same for the first part of the season in terms of output and cohesiveness.
I don't know why a paid professional would ever "hold back" but that's lame and players who do that can go elsewhere.
I didn't get the impression at any point that lindholm bled the flaming C, so I don't know why local media are quick to defend his character. Also knowing now that he was looking to extract a very hefty contract that would rival huberdeau's in order to stay with the team, I don't know if any one around the Flames should rush to the guy's defense for playing half as well as he was capable of.
Hanifin and tanev have exhibited much better attitudes around being in the same spot.
