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.

Lindy has been a centre for about 2.3 seasons.
1.3 seasons with Gaudreau and Tkachuk. I think we can roughly put that at 99 games (Monahan played 65 games in 20/21, so Lindy got about 17 games as the centre between Johnny and Chucky when that line was formed). Lindy had 14 points in the finale 17 games of 20/21. That brings him to 96 points in 99 games with those players as a centre.
1 season with...Toffoli and...Dube? I can't even really remember last season. He put up 64 points in 80 games.
179 games being considered "many years now" is absurd. I'm also not saying Lindholm is bad by any stretch, but this contract would run 29-37, and loading a roster with high paid players who entering the non-peak years of their careers is a disaster.
