Rielly is better offensive, Lindholm is better defense.
I think Rielly is more appealing to the eye because he plays a more risky/flashy game, stats will side to lindholm.
Only because of playing with a better team, would Lindholm's stats be better, again, look at how well Rielly performs relative to his other Dmen peers in international play, all of a sudden he looks like the cream of the crop (Not saying he holds an advantage over Lindholm currently, but Lindholm doesn't hold any advantage over Mo, either
People can say power house duck team but part of the reason it's a power house is because of lindholm, and Fowler is closer to nylander that nylander is to lindholm.
They are a powerhouse team because of Getzlaf, Perry, strong goaltending, good defensive depth (Part of which is Lindholm, yes), and depth up the middle. And no, Nylander is much closer to Lindholm. Nylander's upside is #1C (He may be 2C longterm because of Matthews, but still a #1C in calibre, and he looks damn likely to reach that upside. The book is already written on Fowler, he's a 2nd pairing Dman. Factor in Contracts and age and it isn't all that close
