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).
