Flames are going to pay it or lose him. They aren't going to sign a comparable player for less either.

But then he's THE GUY for the entirety of the contract, and there's no going back. If we develop somebody, we won't be able to keep him because we decided nobody else was coming along and comitted to Lindholm. We will have to trade our next star players away to keep Lindholm and friends. Whether we want to or not. For almost a decade.
