That isn't elite money either. Cap goes to $86M this year you will see what elite money is. Mackinnon already got $12.6. Matthews is going to top that followed by the wonder twins in Edmonton. By the time Lindholm's deal kicks in, $14M cap hits will be a thing in this league. Maybe even $15M
Keep Lindholm, your stuck with Kadri and Huberdeau.
Move out anyone else as you are not getting a top 5 pick or high end prospects in trades anyways. We are getting late firsts and 2nd line caliber prospects.
If you trade Lindholm, blow it up is the only path that makes sense but the Flames are not blowing it up because of 1 off year.
