I think the real argument based on Lindholm and Monahan's play this year is that neither guy probably deserved to return a 1st based on their play this year alone.
For Lindholm it's an overpayment based on past performance.
For Monahan it's an overpayment based a bit on inflated stats due to usage and PP.
In the end Lindholm's defense play and ability to play a 200ft game (historically) makes it a worth while risk.
For Monahan I do worry a bit he was a guy inflated by situation and Winnipeg will have buyers remorse. Love Monahan though and hope he crushes it with Winnipeg.
