I don't understand the desire to re-sign Lindholm. He showed us this year that he isn't a player that pushes the needle for this group and will almost be 30 when that next contract kicks in.
Do you really want to make the same mistake you just did with Kadri and Huberdeau and sign a player like this for 8 years, likely over $8MM AAV?
Trade him this off-season, retain salary (I know this scares the Murray Edwards), and get a haul for him while you can. Don't turn another asset into an immovable object.
