A full season of Lindholm at $2.5M cap hit should have big value. I do think Jarvis is a stretch but you never know.
I'd also be willing to let team negotiate an extension before the deal too.

When has a team ate that much salary on a useful player for a full season to make a trade?
The Preds ate like 12% of Eckholms deal to trade off a soon to be 33 year old useful guy with 3 years of term, and the Sharks ate 25% of 37 year old Burns for 3 years. But in both cases those teams were trying to shed longer term deals to rebuild. Lindholm is prime age with one year left, teams will send you a lesser two million dollar guy to offset the cost.
Until a good player on a good contract is traded for the duration of a full season...I consider this talk to be fan boy nonsense.
If the Flames trade Lindholm before the season starts it will be the full contract. If it's a deadline move than yeah there could be salary retention twice to fit him in on a team going for it.
