Horvat is grossly overpaid though. $6.5M for Lindholm is a steal and no way he signs that deal anywhere other than maybe Florida/Tampa/Vegas where there is no tax and they are good teams.

Flames need to cash in on this asset. Nothing was worse as a fan for me than watching the 2010-2013 Flames go for it every year and in 3 of those years finish 9th or 10th in the West. They only bottomed out in the last year because Iggy was ready to move on.

I do not want a team lead by 30+ Lindholm, Backlund, Huberdeau, Kadri, Markstrom, Weegar chasing the second wildcard.

Flames need to move the 4 pending UFA’s, get significantly younger but build a top asset base through acquiring picks or prospects. Maybe next year or the next 2-3 years are painful but if they don’t go this route I can see the next 7-8 years being really painful
