I just feel like some fans don't realize how bad things may look for this organization in about 4 years. Hanafin on a long term deal will still look good in the future where I don't think Lindholm for $8.5 million or more will look nearly as good.

Kadri and Backlund have to clear out if Lindholm stays, no way around it. Even if you have to take an L on the trade return for Kadri, it's the only solution.
Personally, I hate seeing the possibility of Lindholm walking in favor of Backlund or Kadri.
If I'm anchoring my roster on a single center for the next 8 years, I know who I'm latching onto. I Don understand anyone who doesn't.
