Feels like a contender would be a much better fit for Lindholm. One more year with a great cap hit- exactly what playoff teams are looking for. Columbus would have to pay Lindholm premum UFA money to get him to stay while giving up something significant from their rebuild, it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Lindholm isn't going to put them over the top, probably the contrary put them in cap trouble long term when their own young guys need new deals.
