But is 8.5m even 1C money right now?
The only 1C players at that value are on contracts signed years ago.
There is a lot of comments about how Lindholm is a 2C on a contender which may be true, although he would be a luxury for that team. Imagine if you swapped Chandler Stephenson for Lindholm. Pretty sure that's a significant upgrade for a true contender.
Maybe 8.5 is a bit steep for the 2C, but you aren't getting an elite 1C for that, so the value is not far off for what he brings.
