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

If lindholm was with pasta his point total would be higher then it is now. I'm not worried .
I like him with Marchand

Zacha goes quite nicely win Pastrnak

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).

Playoffs is all that counts, right?
