It wouldn't surprise me if Lindholm remains a winger for the next while. And I also think it will take him awhile to be fantasy relevant in pretty much any format.
In a league with the following stats.
G,A, SOG, GWG, PPP, SHP, FOW, H+B
Is he a permanent winger now or will he retain/return to the C position moving forward (FOW element)?
what's his upside at Carolina across the next 2-3 seasons?
Who would you compare him to?
Not THAT hairy, honest!

To me he is the guy to wait on for three years and then pick up
I haven't seen enough of him to really comment on comparisons but I think he's a solid player in Carolina and I would expect in a few years he would approach 25g and 35a type of production if he continues to develop. I like his situation and think he will become more of a focal point as early as this upcoming year. Will he hit 80 points next year? NO. Will he approach 45 next year? I think so
I hope this helps as I couldn't fully answer your question
I think a big part of answering this question will come with the offseason decisions that are facing the Hurricanes. They have a new GM, so the roster could be in for anything from a small retool, to a large overhaul. I wouldn't expect Lindholm to be part of that (in fact I think he's among the most untouchable on the Canes roster, along with Faulk and Skinner) but if you see one of the Staals move, things change for him. A Staal moving gives lindholm the opportunity to shift to center, giving you FOW options. However it likely brings his next season offense down a bit since he'll have to adjust to being an NHL center.
I don't think he'll be ready for two more seasons IMO.
