I think we're focusing in on the wrong player. Coleman doesn't play the same position as Lindholm.
The real question is, do we want to Flames to pay both Kadri and Lindholm combined 16 million. Assuming the 9M x 8M rumor is true.
In a vacuum 9M for Lindholm is fair, but in the current context we are looking at a 2025-26 Flames team that is paying 34 year old Kadri 7M and 30 year old Lindholm 9 Million.
Is this the pathway to a competitive team? unfortunately I think not, but it might not matter because presumably that money would be better spent elsewhere, and if the Flames plan on being a 15th seed team, then a player worth that money may not come around.
