That's a deal that would hopefully satisfy most fans. Sounds about fair value if Columbus was interested in Lindholm.
I still don't imagine pick #3 is on the board, but if it is maybe something like #3 and #22 from Columbus for Lindholm and the Flames first works. Columbus would move up into a range where some of the better prospects are likely to still be available in round 1, and they would receive a center who strengthens the likelihood that acquiring Gaudreau for term was a good deal. From the Flames perspective they would greatly increase their odds of acquiring a franchise type forward, and still maintain a second first round selection. Perhaps Columbus would entertain this deal as they would keep Sillinger, Marchenko, and still have Johnson in the wings, with Lindholm stabilizing the team in the present sense.
I like the deal you propose, as this would bring youth and skill to the Flames, but if the Flames are looking to obtain a game changing talent in the event they deal Lindholm, acquiring that 3rd pick would be the best path to achieving that result.
