It doesn't matter what you want or I want, it matters what ownership wants and there is zero chance in hell they would be on board with something like this.

If Lindholm doesn't want to re-sign then there can't really be a mandate to win. They aren't going to get a center anywhere close to him back in a trade. Hanifin and Lindholm would probably get late 1sts and prospects at the deadline. Getting the 3rd overall would be way better and probably the best chance to compete in the short term. Columbus still doesn't do it though. If Lindholm goes there it will be for Sillinger + the Kings 1st.
