Some of these takes are insufferable.
Lindy is as close to a Bergeron as you get today. As pointed out, his point totals over the last while. Center’s are the most important part of a team. If you guys haven’t noticed, they aren’t rebuilding. So your options are to sign him which sounds to be low 8’s which is outstanding value where a cap is going up that amount or more in the next 2 years. 8.2 will be the new 3-4 mil player when this expires in 9 years. He’s our top center and unless you can convince Murray to blow it up, you aren’t getting a better C on this team anytime soon. The other option is the trade, maybe you haven’t noticed, but the returns for players right now is absolute garbage. We couldn’t be selling at a worse time. Reilly Smith went for nothing. We are lucky Conny got what he did for Toffoli. Just because you think he will pull in a haul, look at the market, look at what Murray is likely forcing them to require in a return. You are going to like a trade a lot less than an 8 year contract for 8-9mil. This guy is a top center. You keep these because the Flames won’t be getting another for a long time.
