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.
Lindy is a 1C center at best. He’s best suited as a 2A which he would be on a contending team. You need to sit down with the guy and ask him in the summer if he wants to sign long term. If not, you pretty have to move him
