The Flames should actually invest in the guys that they already have in the system. And the Flames should try to build assets.

Willy is going to be a UFA at 28 and likely have posted three consecutive PPG seasons.
If we’re talking about a .8-1ppg player in Lindholm getting $9M at (effectively) 30 years old, then what’s reasonable for Willy?
$11M+ easily in my eyes, and I don’t think it’s unreasonable given where things seem to be going.
If we sign Lindy, I think the Flames need to go out and offer Willy $11.5M to try and add to the top of the roster, because that’s where the Flames need the most help in this attempt to stay relevant. Heck, perhaps there’s a Flames premium that may push it to $12M.
