I have concern with adding a 30 year old Lindholm on an 8 year contract.
Way less concern adding a 26 year old defenseman on max term.

To be clear I'm not a fan of giving Lindholm max term/dollar either. I'm not a fan of giving anybody an 8 year contract, on a team that has proven next to nothing together. I think he's overrated, doesn't mean I think he's a bad player. IMO he leaves a lot to be desired for somebody who has the size and skating ability, that he does. Given his age, he also probably has maybe the most value of anybody on the roster. Given the situation of the team, why is this happening so early? We are an average team with a max roster, does it make sense that we are locking in long term with guys so early? We are already up against cap wise with Hubby and Kadri.
