It depends on who is available but relatively speaking I would probably hold on to them a bit longer.
You shouldn't have expected much from them this season.
What should I make of these guys? They aren't really prospects anymore and there haven't been a lot of good signs this year. I like to be patient but they are taking up roster spots on my teams meaning I can't jump on currently performing free agents. I can only hold on to so many 'futures' before it ends up putting this season in the tank.
Should I expect more from these guys this year? Is there enough upside there that I should stomach short term pain for long term gain?

TT doesn't seem to be giving owners much hope.
Lindholm got switched to C, and seems to be having some troubles adapting like MacKinnon and others have in the past.

I expected more of a breakout from both this season. Been rough.
I'm stuck with Lindholm, so I'll be hoping something clicks later in the season.

To be honest, I'd move Lindholm while someone still wants him. He has talent but, as someone wrote here last season, Canes seem to trying to make him a two-way center. I don't believe he'll ever going to reach the ofensive potential some believe he has (or had).
I have owned Lindholm the last 3 seasons. I believe it's starting to look as though he an EXTERMELY slow starter. He had an equally frigid-cold start last year and picked it up a bit later. I'm thinking he should start off in about 2-3 weeks, so depending on your league you can either figure he'll flirt with about 40-45 points total this year and drop him in a year-long league or, in H2H leagues, stash him on your bench until he starts producing (when he finally started producing last year, he won me a week or two in my H2H).
My 2 cents
On a fantasy hockey break.
Hawks aren't missing Terriblevainen too much...
New lines for Canes.
Lindholm as third line winger.
Aho on second line with TT and Staal.
lindholm really impressed me last season with his physical play .I'd love to buy low on him in one of my leagues
agree with others who stated he was a bit of a slow starter.
