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.

Nashville just traded Johansen for vapour. It’ll be hard to let go of Lindholm for absolutely nothing in 7 years, but we’ll manage I’m sure.

Some guys will get raises. Not worried about it. He might even become the 30th highest paid center. Will you be happy with it then?
