League wide speculation (among managers) is that neither Lindholm nor Hanifin are signing with the Flames on July 1.
If what Frank says is on point, I think both should be traded at the draft. If these players are uncertain, then that uncertainty is a "no" in my eyes. You either commit to signing July 1, or you get traded.

Yeah Conroy may have said “you don’t have to tell me by the draft” to be nice, but I agree - it doesn’t take that long to decide if you want the $68M or $84M. It’s yes or get out.
But other than money, which they can get anyway via a sign and trade, I’m still hard-pressed to come up with a reason for either player to want to stay here.
Based on where this team is, who its best players are, and who it’s likely to be able to add, I don’t see why both wouldn’t just start fresh somewhere else.
