OK, this season has clouded my perception of his injury history... but is $9.5M good value for a PPG advanced stats darling? He's not even a center. He's also 30 years old, just had lower back surgery and still represents five more years of cap hit at that $9.5M. Should we offer Lindholm (who will be a 30 year-old center) $9.5M for five years (matching Stone's remainder) for his next contract?
(actually I could realistically see Lindholm getting $8-9M offers, but I would also argue that Lindholm is more valuable than Stone)
Anyway, fair point... I did think he was more injury-prone than he is.
