Marchessault or E. Lindholm

[Zorro]

I am leaning towards Lindholm here as he is playing on a very dominant line and their offensive zone starts is off the charts!!

Another vote for Lindholm. Age, upside, and the fact that PIMs are negative makes him the better choice this year and going forward.

March bigtime. He's shown he can drive play EVEN when he's the target of the opposition's top shutdown guys. Now he's not anymore and there's a very real chance he's still on pp1. Goals, dogs, multi positional- he's a stud- Huge bounceback potential!

Lindholm has ONE good season on the back of a stupid high shooting percentage and tied to one of the best tandems in hockey. If they juggle at all (and I think they will when his shooting percentage regresses back to its very average mean)- he could be moved off the line for chunks and struggle. I don't think he's the 45 point player he has been but he's not an 80 point ayer either. I'd gamble he's a 60ish point player- assist heavy and struggling to hit even 200sog (my baseline). Even after his worst season in awhile I'm confident saying a goal and sign heavy 60 is basically March's floor at this point.

This is classic poolies just looking at last season and making a call. Even if he's lost a bit of hypothetical upside the choice is easily March here for me and it's not really all that close. Going to be a lot of shocked and appalled Lindholm owners next year wondering where their ppg asset disappeared to
