Lindholm wore #16 from 2014-2017. He switched to #28 in the 2017-18 season and gave #16 to Marcus Kruger.
Fortune doesn't necessarily smile on the Whalers/Hurricanes player who wears #16, but the majority of them are noteworthy for one reason or another.
Bobby Hull, Bill Bennett, Michel Galarneau, George Lyle, Marty Howe, Sly Turgeon, Pat Verbeek, Nelson Emerson, Tommy Westlund, Ryan Bayda, Andrew Ladd, Brandon Sutter, Elias Lindholm, and Marcus Krueger all wore it for at least one NHL game with the franchise.
Good company for the most part, IMHO.
