Baffling take.
All this chatter about roster construction and proper builds misses the key point. You need good players at key positions.
If the Flames don't sign Lindholm, someone else will, and we will watch him do his job for another team.
The story around here will then be how management let him get away, etc.
8-9m isn't first line C salary anymore. Personally, I would be happy to see him on a five year deal, but either way, I want him on the Flames, not haunting us as an opponent.
