Clearly, there was still a trade market for him this trade deadline and looking at the return the Flames got, he was still. Highly desirable and sought after. Question for me is how his play in Vancouver impacts that value. Free agency costs nothing but money, and GMs will always pay dumb amounts, so I think there will still be interested teams. I agree with the poster who suggested maybe a 1-year deal is what Lindholm himself pushes for. Get a 1-year deal with CBJ, get 70+ points with Johnny and he'll get a big payday the following year.
