His reactions after the team scores, whether it's him or not, are a joy to see. His smile couldn't be bigger and you can tell he gets legitimately excited everytime the Flames put the puck in the net. I imagine he's a phenomenal teammate in the dressing room.
Lindholm has the offense in him based on his U19 numbers in the SHL. Link below shows how his U19 stats in SHL stack up against others in prior years...
Basically he is in the Nik Backstrom, H Sedin, Renberg, and Peter Forsberg area. Different eras and different development curves. But he is in good company.
Lindholm looks delighted to be playing with a dazzling Gaudreau and finisher in Monahan.
Likewise they looked thrilled to finally be playing with a smart talented player in Lindholm who is proving to be a great play maker and finisher himself.
All three are more than a ppg each of production together, they look to be one of the top 5 lines in the league.

I'd like to see how the top "lines" stack up right now statistically.
Too lazy to compile those stats but my guess is it's
You can see why BT wanted a right shot on that first line. How many times have we seen a puck come from the right corner up to lindholm for him to step into a shot. Tough for a left to do that. If the play is from behind their net or the corner which is common, that right shot comes in hand.

Here are the lines production at Even Strength so far this season:
Gaudreau/Monahan/Lindholm: GF-11, GA-12 (-1)
Marchand/Bergeron/Pastrnak: GF-11, GA - 8 (+3)
Landeskog/Mackinnon/Rantanen: GF-19, GA-9 (+10)
Skinner/Eichel/Pominville: GF: 12, GA -4 (+8)
I feel like the Colorado line is easily the best line in the league right now. Flames line has been good - but was too leaky defensively early on in the year. That Buffalo line is interesting to watch - their results are in by far the lowest ice time of the bunch.
Flames first line has really picked it up the last 5 games though at Even Strength: GF-4, GA-1 with a 64% high danger chance percentage. So much better overall and hopefully that commitment to a 200ft game continues.

I didn't see this posted anywhere else, but thought you guys might enjoy it:
At any time on the ice in this WJC highlight package, do you see any other player with as high of a compete level? I can't find a single one. Skilled, fast and with an incredibly high compete level. Fun to watch some old draft year videos of players before they made it to the NHL, and Lindholm was a fun to watch player.
