List all the wingers who make that kind of dough and legitimately play on a 2nd line.

I don’t know exactly what salary he is going to command. I also don’t know the last time a 26 year old winger that is as good as he is has hit the market. There’s a reason his name is being mentioned for the Selke. There are different ways to get the deal done.
Backlund could be moved, in which case Lindholm would move to Centre on the second line. Stone is 3 years younger and keeps us in contention for longer than Backlund.
In that case he would only be a second line winger for the playoff run. Next year top line.
