Best comparable so far. Scheifele scores more points but isn't as good defensively. Scheifele is a year older, but only signed for 7 years.

Man, really dislike this ‘not a winner’ talk. It’s a tired and lazy critique. It’s empty and baseless.

No one is a winner until they are. Ovechkin, Yzerman, Bouwmeester, Eichel on and on and on….

The best part about this will be watching people go from predicting the "Jets imploding by losing these 2 key pieces, being unable to retain players in that market" to now deciding that these are overpayments and bad value.

I'm no fan of Helley its no secret, but the league and GM's seem to think he's the best goaltender in the NHL. Fine. Earn it.

Go Jets.

Jets are so meh. They rival the Flames as organizations spinning on the wheel of mediocrity.

Now that's a lie. The league and GMs think he's the best goalie? Really?

You don’t like it? Tough luck. He’s been a career loser since junior.

See a lot of this line of thinking on this forum and, likely, in most fan bases.

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

Schiefele, Larkin, and Horvat are all great Lindholm comparables. Flames are smart by holding the line at 8.6 if that is indeed the case.

To me, this means a deal for Lindholm at 8 * 8-8.5AAV.

Same can be said about others.

Still a lazy take.

Your take is lazy because you haven’t done your homework on the player.

That's because it's usually one or the other. If they don't want to sign, they probably aren't going to be enticed by a team friendly deal.

He won in College. He’s also accomplished more in his career in scoring and on a few Flames teams that were amongst tops in their conference and the league. That said I don’t think anyone here confuses him for a leader.

So a player is either a loser or a leader?

He’s a loser if you want to make it black and white.
