I am not underrating Lindholm at all and have said this is not about Lindholm as there are almost zero players similar to him that would be worth the deal for the 3rd pick.
UFA's don't get dealt for 3rd overall picks, almost nobody/nothing gets dealt for 3rd overall picks, especially when you look at the value of the pick this year with the quality that will be available.
Lindholm's career is irrelevant because you aren't getting what he did previously. You get him for one season next year. That is nowhere close to the same value as a 3rd overall pick, especially with what we know about this draft class.
