Naa. No matter how you slice it Kadri and Coleman were never pieces to build around to deserve a long term contract at their ages. It’s amazing how many people are willing to offer Lindholm a crazy value contract on his current value without looking at where we are right now, what value he’ll have in the future, and what players we already have locked up. Past lessons are never heeded it seems. More successful teams have an honest dialogue to where they are and what value a guy has into future years. Not cutting him loose speaks volumes to where they see themselves and or their abilities to acquire better players in the future. This will be a terrible mistake to offer him anything more than four years. If he’s looking for 8, fair - trade him. No biggie. He’s reached his peak and we’re giving him peak money for eight years? What craziness is that?
