There is no way this organization should be committing $27 million to 3 forwards who will all be over 30 by the time Lindholm's next contract kicks in. It's absolutely insane. The Flames can't let this happen again.
And the cap may not be going up as much as people think. Sports broadcasters falling apart in the US. That will have an impact.

Maybe Huberdeau was overrated, but he is still close to elite. You can pay him and Lindholm. What you can't do is have a 3rd line that makes more money this season than any other line.
Throw in Lucic on the 4th line and your are paying 4 players in the bottom 6 $4.9M+.
What would we get for Lindholm from Carolina? 2 firsts? Those are probably picks out of the top 25 of the draft. Could be nothing.
