Lindholm should still comfortably be above all of those, and that's without a possible contract extension.

And to add, as Lanny said, the O'Reilly and Horvat deals are at least comparable. Neither in my opinion are true 1st liners on a contender, but are really good players that contenders should covet.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
