Both of those teams have the salary cap space next season to pay Lindholm $9M without any real problem.
Lindholm isn't being crazy in (rumoured) to be holding firm at 8 Years and $9.3M AAV.
There will be markets, likely more 'desirable' than Calgary, that will have the ability to pay him $9M for 7 years. The 8th year and maybe a few extra hundred thousand is the premium he may be placing on playing in Calgary.
