Two seasons ago many of the Flames players had career seasons. Last year, most of the key Flames players had the worst seasons of their careers. I suspect guys like Huberdeau, Kadri and Markstrom will regain at least some form.

So considering a rebuild is unlikely this year I think locking in Lindholm long-term would be prudent. If the team has another miserable season then they don't have a choice but to start selling and restocking picks and young players.

At this point, who will buy?
