The cap went up about 14% from when Monahan signed his contract and when the Flames had to burn a 1st to get rid of him. Monahan made 7.7% of the cap.
If the cap went up 14% in 6 years from when Lindholm potentially signs a 9 million dollar a year contract it will be 95.2 and Lindholm would be 9.5% of the cap. For him to be 7.7% the cap would have to be about 117 million, which it will not be. Contracts that are 8-10% of the cap are always hard to move, regardless of whether the cap goes up.
