Argue that you don't want to extend guys 8 years all you want, but base it on reality. This guy is the most complete and dynamic C the Flames have seen since Joe was in his prime.

Hey man, don't let statistics and logic get in the way of your "feelings" or preconceived notions!
But in all seriousness, IMO Lindholm is our best player and it's not even that close. And he is still in his prime. Also we are already saddled with Kadri and Huby's deals well past their prime, so signing Lindholm does not make that situation any worse. So for better or for worse, the time is now. We sign him or we rebuild, and we all know which way the ownership is going to go, so that means we really only have one choice... find a way to lock him up.
