Coture is 34, and he's signed for 4 more years. It would be risky because we don't know in which year his age catches up to him and his production plummets. That risk is why I would like SJ to retain at least $1-1.5M.

I'd easily take Lindhom on an 8-year deal at $8.5 mil than Couture at 4 x $8mil. But we don't know if Lindholm will sign for that much. What if the number is $9.5 mil?
Couture 4 x $8 mil isn't great but he is still a good player. If he was at $6.5 mil he would be a great add.
Eklund in for Vladar? That is a great move for the long term of this team. Eklund might be the most valuable asset in the trade. He would be our top prospect.
I'd do it if Lindholm won't sign or wants $9 mil+
If Lindholm is coming in around $8.5 mil then I don't do it
