No thanks
Don’t give him away but trade him for as much as you can.
With or without Lindholm, the Flames are not contending for awhile

The Flames are likely going to attempt to contend next year. if Lindholm is moved, then the organization is bringing in another centre.
If the Flames can hedge the bets and trade aging players for 23ish year old players that are still developing, that's likely the best route. Not a true rebuild, but just solid asset management. Under the new cap system, solid asset management likely trumps scorched earth rebuild anyways.
The dream would be players like Lundell. Maybe Florida's success has them so convinced that they are in win now mode that they trade a future #1 centre. Could be the ultimate silver lining to the Tkachuk ordeal.
