He’s improved his P/GP in the playoffs every year, and has produced better than some individual years of guys like Bergeron, Toews, Backstrom, etc. You want to use career averages? Then give him another 7 years. You’re still being lazy, so who cares what you think about hall of fame predictions? You can’t barely figure out today.
As for what you admitted:
That’s Stanley Cup winner Ryan O’Reilly, and if Lindholm is comparable or better than he is (which you “gave me”) then guess he’s good enough to win a cup as a #1.
Don’t know why you’re fighting it so hard. It’s a weak point to make in the first place, you don’t lose anything by admitting it was dumb.

I gave you O'Rielly as a comparable, then checked his production in the playoffs, no bueno. Everybody else it wasn't necessary to look up the data even though I did.
Like I said, Lindholm is a good player, he does somethings very well and in my opinion a great 2nd line centre on a championship contender. To rely on him as your go to, I don't think so. In a game where puck possession/zone entries are key, its kinda important that your #1 be able to excel at that, I don't think he does.
Somebody calling somebody else lazy can't even double check playoff averages lol. The worst statistically of that group is Krejci and even he is 20% more productive statistically in the playoffs.
