Lindholm’s words at his end of year press conference was ‘I have one more year left and we will see what happens’ not ‘I’m not coming back’. Sounds like to me he intends to finish his contract, which I’m sure his agent and the NHLPA would advise.
Ask yourself this; how bad would your boss have to be for you to walk away from millions of dollars?

If it's Lindholm, a player who most teams in the league would be eager to sign to an extension this summer, it would make sense for him to demand* a trade (but really all he needs to say is he is absolutely not re-signing, which is demanding a trade without demanding a trade).
All the Flames could really do is threaten to trade him to a contender that wouldn't have room to extend him, but I suspect there are a lot of good teams that would pay more with the intention of re-signing.
