That would be 52.5 million committed to the cap and lets they cap is 85 million by then. Do you think that is the bones of a contender? 32.5 million left for a top 6 winger or two, a whole bottom six , 4 defencemen and a backup.
You'd be putting a lot of faith in two older top 6 centers. That is why I am on team re-tool. Lindholm, Kadri, and Lindholm can probably keep getting the Flames to a cusp of a playoff spot.

If he wants 9.5 you trade him. He isn't going to ask that though I don't think. I think you can get it done for 8.5. Centre depth is extremely important and you have nothing in the pipeline nor on the roster to replace Lindholm.
