Lindy isn't a good example though. That was his third contract, and he wasn't even considered a centre by his old team. He wasn't considered to be a potential elite player at all.
It's not like Treliving signed him short term. 6 years is a good length for most contracts. And Lindholm has been well below PPG in 3/5 seasons. He had the one gatorade season and last season as a top player.
