The Flames aren’t an organization with a winning history nor a high end prospect pool that would sell the player on winning in the future.
…so that leaves one thing. Overpayment. Is that something we should be doing?

It's the only thing they can do if they want to stave off a rebuild longer to take a couple kicks at the can.
I'm a proponent for biting the bullet and selling Lindy for a haul, but obviously the current brass feels very differently from those like myself. They believe in the anything can happen narrative.
If Lindholm doesn't meet them half way by summer's end then they need to sell him.
If we don't learn from Trelivings mistake with Gaudreau then what are we doing.
