Steinberg also openly speculating on/discussing Lindholm not signing the deal that’s been on the table. Questioning that with Lindy not signing the “good deal” that’s been on the table for months now (used $72M as the example), if he does end up signing it…what’s taken so long? Is it that he wants to be here (…if so, why hasn’t he signed already?) or is it because he believes it’s the best deal he’ll ever get? Steinberg voiced concerns about the 2nd “scenario”.
Segment kind of closed with “what’s the hold up?”
The conversation ends up going down the path of “I don’t see the Flames finding a legit #1 centre in the next 5 years - so they have to sign Lindholm” and holy what a sad state of affairs that is.
