Toews and Backstrom are two examples of guys who have benefitted heavily by playing with generational wingers through most of their careers. Kopitar plays a pretty comparable game to Lindholm.
Regardless, if the argument is that Lindholm can’t be #1 on a cup contender and you admit he’s better than O’Rielly and Krejci, that pretty much disproves the original point right there.

I didn't admit anything. Playoff hockey is vastly different than regular season hockey. All 5 players you mentioned are within grasp of each other in terms of ppg production in playoff hockey, Lindholm is a ways behind all 5, and you call me lazy lol.
PS. Lindholm will never be a hall of famer
