Lindholm will retire with generational wealth but he certainly fumbled the bag throughout his career. I do recall hearing that he fired his agent in the first year of his 6 year deal here when he immediately broke out. I wonder if during those negotiations the Flames offered a short term deal and he was pushed to take the longer deal which was a bargain from the moment he started playing for the Flames but was fair based off his 0.5ppg career numbers to date.
This time he is offered a huge amount of money and goes on to have his worst season since 15/16. I do think he gets a healthy payday but no chance it comes close to the $68.8M the flames allegedly offered.
