How do you figure that, Pasta is playing better than he was when Lindholm was with him, Zacha and Pasta are better match, and that is why Lindholm should never been signed.

Marchy is not the same ( age)and brazzeau isnt really a 2nd line winger Lindholm will be fine. Just my thought. He needs more talented wingers.
He had one great year, and one good year, every other season average or below . Sorry this a bad signing and will not age well and said it before, and did not want him signed.

Love his complete game needs some puck luck
Didn’t realize he was this good defensively unfortunately he needs points to get attention
Zacha got hot
Coyle getting hot
Lindholm needs to
Zacha goes quite nicely win Pastrnak

I like him with Marchand

I disagree hes been really close every night by getting points just not finishing from some puck luck I say and skill on the sides .
Hopefully Don can get replacements for geekie and brazzeau for more skill with that puck.

I’m with you - Hookslide is one of my favorites here and line up 80/20 with him so tossing his EL take in the 20%
EL should be 20-40-60 points
Lot of Bergeron in him - I like to see him bang in 3 or 4 in a week like Coyle just did
You are right, I think Marchand has slowed down a bit, he is not awful, but he is certainly not the guy we are use too. Brazeau, I have mixed feelings, I know he has put a lot of hard work to get there, and you have to pull for the guy, but he is not a second liner, and I have my doubts he is a NHL player, not meant to be harsh. Lindholm just does not move the needle for me, maybe if his contract was not such an anchor, I would feel differently.

Lindholm's problems are his own, not his line mates fault.
Lindholm's first 26 Games in Vancouver vs his first 26 games in Boston...
VAN 6g 6a 12pts -6, 78 shot attempts, 17:42, 21 blocks, 33 hits, 12 takeaways
BOS 3g 9a 12pts -1, 77 shot attempts, 18:22, 29 blocks, 43 hits, 6 takeaways
It's remarkably similar and Vancouver put him on the 3rd line. To be fair, it should also be noted that Lindholm followed those 26 games with 5 goals and 10 points in 13 playoff games for Vancouver, where he was one of their best players (still, from the 3rd line).

Reading is only my third favorite form of learning.

I think the question it raises is, did Lindholm elevate his game for the playoffs, or did he just need time to adjust?
Exactly. It's 26 games in without camp and preseason, let's give him some time to adjust, these guys are still human.
Well no can say that you are not learning, I know there are growing pains that go along with it.

I think the question is was his game elevated playing on the third thus should he have been signed as a third liner, that is the real question that should be asked.
Boy... he played games with 63 and 88. I don't know what better winger on the Bruins could play with him!

I am all letting EL time. Long season. But I disagree on searching better EL wingers. He played with 2 of the best wingers in 88 and 63. EL needs to upgrade his game IMO, his season beginning is on him.
If my memory is good, with 37, they called it the perfection line(name I hated). 28 was signed to replace.

I'm not gonna write him off the other day he popped 3 points in one game. He will catch up.

Also, we really don't have much of a choice but to let him find his game TBH. I think he will. He's not a PPG+ true first line center, but he was the best FA center, and I think will earn his contract when all is said and done. It's not like we're a cup team this year anyway, he'll get there.
*I'm choosing to take an optimistic approach to life.
Edit: 7.75 / Yr is second line center money these days anyway. And it'll probably be reliable face off winning / PK / 40 Pt 3rd line center money in the last year or 2.

Like I said before heinen forbert debrusk money went to zadorov and lindholm basically. I loved it when I heard it and still do. I'm gonna be patient.
