I wonder if Lindholm is waiting to see if Huberdeau bounces back/plays better before he signs? Huberdeau not getting significantly better will doom this team no matter what as having a $10.5M winger playing more like a $4M player in year 1 of his 8 year deal would be an absolute nail in the coffin of this team.
If Huby comes back and finds his game and perhaps he and Lindy connect the second go around then perhaps there would be a lot more incentive for Lindholm to stay since he will believe there is a chance to win here.
