I don’t think Lindholm makes sense for either team. Sure Buffalo would want him, but I think the primary return pieces are going to be futures based. Lindholm is a significant contributor to a team now. For the Flames to give him up, it defeats the purpose. The whole reason to pursue Eichelnis to catapult this team into contention, not take a half step forward or sideways.
Based on some recent conversations in the media I think the price may have come down a bit and Buffalo is willing to take a contract back with one or two years left on it. If this deal does go down, I think there is going to be one piece, specifically, that’s going to hurt to see go.
Monahan, Mangiapane or Dube, and one of a 1st/Zary/Valimaki/Coronato. May have to top it up with a 2nd in this years draft as well.
