So, hypothetically you would be fine with $8.95 but over $9 is a nonstarter?……okay.
If Lindholm wants over $9, I would be fine with that. I would just counter with a reduced NTC. If a full NTC is on the table, then drop that to 10-15 teams, or no teams at all after four years. You could also add no bonus provisions so the Flames could buy him out, if need be.
Annual salary is just one item to negotiate.
