I think Lindholm definitely is a max term player, especially at his position. Better track record and younger player than Kadri at UFA.
But it doesn’t mean he should be a max term player to every team. Contenders or young up and coming teams should absolutely be interested in him. New Jersey, Columbus, Detroit, plus the obvious contenders are great fits.
But for teams signing him at max term just so they get him, who aren’t probably being realistic about their contention window, I think it’s a foolish move. Flames, Islanders, Predators, tweener teams where he’s immediately their best player.
