Lindholm is going to be a good player for the rest of his contract and will likely sign a decent one next time, and I suspect he’d be a good leader for the younger guys. If you are being offered Monahan, who’s the same vintage and more expensive, you may as well see if you can get Lindholm instead, is my point.
