I kind of look at it like you have been a hard working loyal employee for years, apply for a promotion, the company hires an outsider and you have to train him, show him the ropes and he turns out to be useless. Really makes you feel underappreciated.

It may have been a team friendly deal, but Lindholm also signed what at the time was a pretty generous contract given his prior production, all without playing a game. He was a .5 PPG winger and making more than Kucherov.
