Definitely agree that you need a guy like Lindholm, but the question is whether or not now is the time. If you believe the this team is going to achieve similar results as last year then is it wise to sign him? Would it be smarter to move on and rebuild with a new core and then make a splash to sign a guy like Lindholm when the window opens again?
This team is hard to gauge. Was it an off year because of distractions like Sutter and the wrong player management mixed in with sub par years from key guys or is this what this group is capable of. An injection of youth could help and the same with rebound years. It certainly is a gamble though.
