That's the key, of course.
Lindholm probably will benefit somewhat from a reset. He obviously wasn't a good match with any of the players that were tried on his line this year. It looked like Huberdeau's fault at first, but Huberdeau + Sharangovich seems like a cromulent duo. The Canucks can have the problem of trying Lindholm all over the lineup until he clicks with someone. Maybe they'll succeed.
But come July 1, Lindholm will either have left for greener pa$ture$, or the Canucks will have overpaid to keep him. Meanwhile, the Flames will have a nice little pile of assets for the future.
