The way I look at the lindholm situation is I look across the division at LA and what they've done there while keeping Kopitar in the fold well into his 30s.
The Kings have shown that you can build up your roster with young talent and still have that guy factor into the next core and be an effective 200 ft leader for the kids and get back to perennial playoff status.
I see the same potential with Lindholm.
You just want it to be at a reasonable cost that you can work with.
