There are good reasons to not want to sign Lindholm to a huge, 8 year deal, but Lindholm is a great player - trading him for Laine is about the most backwards thing the franchise could do.

I heard something on the radio yesterday (maybe the Real Kyper Show?) that Laine has failed to evolve his game even a little since he was drafted. Most players add tools as they grow into the NHL, and Laine never did, which is why he is now such an ineffective player. Unfortunately, this is probably what he is moving forward.
