Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 22 years old. Elias Lindholm. 109. Right Wing. 4. player

There are two young talents on the Carolina offense that often go forgotten. One is the 24-year-old center Victor Rask. The other is 22-year-old winger Elias Lindholm. Both Lindholm and Rask have played a key role in any success for the Canes in recent years.

If the Canes can finally get things up and running, they will need depth players like Lindholm, Rask, and other young forwards to continue to step it up and progress. Lindholm is on pace to reach about his career average in points this season.

He posted a career-high in points last season with 45, after two straight seasons with 39 points each. However, Lindholm is not much for goal scoring. He is much better at setting up his line mates more so than creating his own offense.

Through 13 games, Lindholm has three goals and four assists. He would need just 17 goals to set a career-high pace. Lindholm has posted 11 goals in each of the last two seasons. It’ll be interesting to see how he progresses in the coming seasons.
