Also though, just the idea of having to convince Lindholm to take a massive overpayment to stay here rubs me the wrong way. I mean I get it, if you feel the team can't compete, may as well make bank, but I'm getting kinda annoyed that the Flames can't nail these contracts.

Horvat had 70 points last season...his previous high being 61 and got a handsome return with a 8.5M contract attached
Lindholm is a better all around player...had 64 points in his terrible year under Sutter
you can debate if the Flames should do it or not based on where their team is but Lindholm's market value is AT LEAST 8.5. That would not be an overpay.
