I don't think acquiring Konecny has much of an impact on Lindholm at all. If anything it might entice him to stay but the cap is going to be hard to manage.

The second the Flames signed Kadri it made signing Lindholm very difficult. We are paying our 2nd line center 7 million dollars and Lindholm brings so much more than Kadri does to the table.

I'm all for acquiring Konecny though assuming that we can center the deal around Mangiapane. The cap would essentially have to equal to make things work.

If Conroy could ship Kadri back to Colorado with a bit of retention I would also look to do so. Backlund is still a more than capable 2C and you could give Dube the 3C role and slowly prepare him to take over the 2C in 2025. I don't think it's out of question that Dube could become a viable 2C with his bite speed and skill.
