It basically was a choice between Kadri or Lindholm at these prices.
He chose paying a 32 year 2nd line center $7mm a year vs paying a 29 year old 1st line center $8.5mm a year.

A few possibly non-mutually exclusive reasons: A. They were obviously going all in after winning the division but falling short in the POs. B. Lindholm is likely gone anyway. C. While Lindholm’s production looked to be worth that in his previous season, maybe the team thinks he’s mainly a product of his linemates. This year sure indicates that.
