This past summer, Lindholm was shipped along with Noah Hanifin for Dougie Hamilton, Michael Ferland and prospect Adam Cox. Each player seems to have been playing better since being traded, but it seems as the Flames have been the victors of the trade as they sit at the top of the Western Conference while Carolina is three points out of the Eastern Conference's final spot with 56 points. In your opinion, should've Lindholm stayed humble and take the critics or what he did was perfectly called for?
