Because if what you say is true and the Flames don't extend him, and lose him, that's what you've done. You lose Lindy and the picks you'd have got for him for a year of production.
Basically, think of all our pending UFAs and next year's batch as rentals. What would you realistically get for them now. Imagine you lose them all. Would you pay what you would have received to keep them the remainder of this season or through to the end of next as applicable?

Look back to last season.
If we could have brought in a Lindholm -esque player with another year of control at $2.4 million/year, I absolutely would have been okay trading 2 firsts.
