As I said before something strikes me in the way he doesn't seem to smile like the rest of the group or even give his best effort from what we saw in the pre-season. I am starting to believe this guy doesn't want to be here. Unfortunately it is too early to get a good return for him I think, the Flames are going to have to wait this one out for awhile. Very disappointing to me.

Given that you have also joined the club, it seems highly likely that Lindholm will be traded in-season. All I can say is that he had better get his act together and perform, rather than letting his disinterest show, if he wants to maximize his next contract, wherever he chooses to go. Less than a PPG season is highly unlikely to get him a $72M contract next summer.
