As long as he remembers Lindholm is 29 this year and doesn't sign him to a crazy 7 or 8 year contract I'll be happy, if that's what it'll take then trade him now.

He also noted that Lindholm, given his complete skill set, is a guy who will still be effective several years in the future, even if it is as he moves a bit down in the lineup
Backs is a good example of a guy who similarly has a complete 2 way game. Sharp as a tack, and who was pretty darn good last year at 34, and then you also have guys like Gio or Pavelski who are good deep in to their 30s. Sure they are rare, but perhaps some players with certain traits project better into the future than others
But for sure, the price would have to agree with the likely trajectory
4-5 years would be awesome. But capwise, maybe a realistic Lindy accepts a deal that works on both sides
