So now you're getting into projecting what the cap will be next year when the salary kicks in, which is an additional risk on the Flames side of things if they're going to exceed what perceived market value is for the player.
Risky.
Also, paying Lindholm for what he was when centering Gaudreau and Tkachuk and not what he's worth away from those players seems like a risk not worth taking. There's not enough evidence to justify 9 years of Lindholm, 8 of which are at an above market value on a contract that will take him until he's 37 years old and at the expense of the assets he would return in a trade.
The logical choice is to trade him.
