You’re speculating.
How would we know Lindholm can’t match 21/22 performance? Who are his line mates this year, who are they next year? How do you know Lindholm’s career arch can’t match the player he gets compared to most often, Bergeron?
Im not saying Lindholm is as good as Bergeron, what I am saying is how do you know his play can’t sustain itself similar to Bergeron? Hell, look at Backlund. He’s played some of the best hockey of his career post 30 years old. Pretty sure if you dig up his extension thread you will come across an avalanche of posts saying he’s going to be too old making that kind of money. He’s been full value in my mind.
