Lindholm and Hanifin are both RFA's

What do we want to see here?

Personally I don't want to see any bridge deals. Lock these guys up long term.

Hanifin especially, as if you can lock him into say a 7 year deal at about $5 million per it will be a massive steal if he develops into a #1 Dman, and if he doesn't improve more than what he is now it really won't be too out of line.

I figure 6 years for Lindholm @ $5 million per should end up a decent bargain as well.

Anyone done any research on comparables? What should we be hoping for or what do we think we'll see happen?
