I think he takes the guaranteed money if the flames are truly willing to pony up the 68m 8 year contract. That's a 0 home discount contract offer. Kadri got 7 years 49m for putting up 90 points, on the open market Lindholm would need to score an aav of nearly 10m to beat the flames total value on a 7 year. Unless he's banking on a sign and trade it would be rather ballsy for Lindholm to go into this season without an extension.
I think he extends at the start of camp.
