Also, how would they fit Lekhonen when he gets back if they get Lindholm without sending salary back? Lekhonen was week to week with a neck injury in NOV, I don't know when he's getting back, but I doubt he would miss the rest of the season. That would leave them about $1.1M of LTIR.
The only wild card in all this is Girard. He's currently in the player assistance program, but I don't know if COL can put him on LTIR.

While Colorado is not building cap-space, Lindholm's cap hit is declining.
At the trade deadline Lindholm has about $1.06M against the cap remaining. So yeah, if they're holding $1.1M in LTIR at that time? It fits...?
(...LTIR has always been a cluster !@#$ in my head though, so who knows)
