Yup.

I had no issue with trying to keep Lindholm as long as it was below $9M.

I also have no issue with them giving him time to think about the offer.

And if talks are progressing and Lindholm wants to stay then I'm okay with not having a deadline. But honeslty it doesn't feel like he wants to stay and doesn't feel like things have progressed

But the first deadline should have been today. You tell him if he wasn't willing to commit by today then you're going to start the active trade discussions tomororow with other teams.

And then the second deadline is Wednesday at noon...and if he hasn't accepted by then you pull the trigger on whatever the best trade return is (if it includes 2023 picks)
