Lindholm is the best player available on the market for a contender, giving him away for 2nd round picks and B prospects will make us look like fools.

Kind of like when Mark Stone was on the market, Vegas was able to put the screws to Ottawa because Stone would only sign with Vegas. I don't think Lindholm has a market yet in free agency to pull that over us.
What trade in recent years shows that you get a top prospect, a 1st, and a cap dump for a pending UFA?

Ryan O’Reilly didn’t return that. Bo Horvat didn’t return that.

You may want to go check what Ottawa got for Mark Stone. He returned a recent 1st (Brannstrom), a 2nd, and nothing else of value - and Lindholm is no Stone
