So I am hearing the Lindholm offer was indeed 8.5/yr x 8 years, NMC that turns into a M-NMC in later years of deal, I have no specifics when that would kick in. Lindholm camp is at $9.5M/yr x 8 years, full NMC. I am also told there is a rift between how each side would like bonus structure paid out. I am told the Flames really want to keep Elias Lindholm, wouldn't be surprised if final deal is around $9M/yr. My source's expectation is they will reach a deal rather than a Lindholm trade, organization really feels he is key piece going forward.
