We're sitting here contemplating offering a 29 year old 64 point (generally a .8 ppg player, but a .69 PPG career average) an 8 year deal worth $9M'ish.
Yeah, my brain is reaching but extending Lindholm at an above market value into those later years looks dumber by the moment.

But a guy who has been nominated for the Selke? Some suggest he is better than Dubois and Dubois just got $8.5 mil.
I would love to see a rebuild as much as anyone but the trades rolling in seem to be bad in comparison to what I thought player would go for a few weeks ago. It might make sense to lock guys up who want to be here and see what the cap does in the next 3 years. Lindholm at $9 mil in a $95 to $100 mil cap is easily worth it. Cap might take 4 years to get there but he's 28 right now.
