Rasmus will be 30+ going into his next contract. Plus whatever other old UFAs we sign to try to make this ragtag group work.
This is actually the bright side to giving Lindholm term. The cap is practically a lost cause in 3-8 years, so you might as well sign Lindholm and allow the Flames to compete now.

People say the Flames will never rebuild, but if most of the cap is tied to 37 year olds, they may not have a choice.
