Lindholm signs 8.5 x 8
Nylander signs 9.5 x 8
if not for the Kadri deal, I'd absolutely be on board with this. Heck, I'd love a Huberdeau-Lindholm-Nylander line a lot ... I think they'd have a ton of success.

But with Kadri on the books, I just can't see how they can sign both Lindholm and Nylander to long-term deals. Surely it'd be one of them, not both of them. Having $35.5m tied long-term to four forwards in their late 20s/early 30s just doesn't seem very healthy, to put it mildly. Now if we could somehow trade Kadri ... but I don't see it.
