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.

If Florida signs him at that amount they will 17.7 million left and need to sign 5 dmen and 4 forwards. So their entire backend would more or less just be 1-2 million dollar a year guys and they would have to let Forsling, Montour walk and let Reinhart walk.
Tampa has 10 million so they would have to go with a 5 dmen and 10 forwards along with their two goalies. Higher risk of injury with that thin of a lineup.
