I wonder what Lindholm's trade value would be.

Most of us agree he's probably the best player on his team, and his contract is fantastic while still having term left.

But at the same time, it seems like few people outside of the Flames realize how good he is.

Obviously I don't think he should be traded. He should be the organization's most valuable asset, but I'm not sure if he actually would be. I think Lindholm, even while underrated, probably has more trade value than Tkachuk because of Tkachuk's $9 mill QO requirement. But I don't think the gap is huge.

I also wonder if the Flames are thinking about making him the next captain. People have brought up Mangiapane and Lucic as well for assistants.
We don't really know what goes on in the dressing room or in practice, so it's tough to predict. But it would be cool to reward the few consistent players on the team.
