I just think that's his value right now and even then, I think it's likely that becomes a contract this team quickly regrets. There's no surplus value there for the team - only deficit - on a team loaded with deficit contracts.

You said immovable object...that is what I disagree with if he is making just over half of what top players are making
Horvat moved for a decent return
I'm saying 8x8.5 would not be an "immovable object"
if we are getting in the 9's it gets more risky

If the Flames sign Lindholm to 8x8.5 and he has a repeat of last season, that's a negative value contract that the Flames would have to entice for another team to take.
Also though, just the idea of having to convince Lindholm to take a massive overpayment to stay here rubs me the wrong way. I mean I get it, if you feel the team can't compete, may as well make bank, but I'm getting kinda annoyed that the Flames can't nail these contracts.

Horvat had 70 points last season...his previous high being 61 and got a handsome return with a 8.5M contract attached
Lindholm is a better all around player...had 64 points in his terrible year under Sutter
you can debate if the Flames should do it or not based on where their team is but Lindholm's market value is AT LEAST 8.5. That would not be an overpay.

I'm not disagreeing with anything you've written here. I'm just pegging the value I see Lindholm bringing to this team.

I am only debating the "immovable object" talk
teams would love to have him at 8.5, he will be making that plus somewhere next year I would bet the farm
you don't think CBJ would want Lindholm at that price? let alone the Flames having to pay to move him lol

The problem again is paying multiple 30 year olds for eight years based on their prime years of production. The contracts get riskier as they age and you can realistically expect diminishing returns on the back half of those deals, if not earlier. Heck, we just saw Huberdeau have a disaster of a season and he just turned 30.

I just can't really be more clear than yes, I think Lindholm is a negative value contract at 8.5x8.
And this team is loaded with these contracts. I think whether the Flames want to compete or rebuild, it is the wrong contract to sign.

This is going back a ways, but if I remember correctly the main sticking point was that Lindy wanted trade protection, and for the Flames the back half of that contract having protection was a non-starter. That was reported sometime in the summer.

I’d honestly be shocked if Hanifin signed instead of Lindy. I always felt like both were gonna be traded

Well you are wrong IMO
CBJ would pay for him and give him 8.5 right now for example

I guess I'm just projecting out for a contract that wouldn't begin until 2024/2025, but I'm not denying Lindholm's trade value right now.
But I think we're kinda getting lost in the weeds here at this point.

CBJ and other teams with cap space/not playoff teams would pay for him yes I agree but contending teams, etc wouldn't for that price. Colorado wouldn't take on a contract like that for that player for example, imo. Just because teams like CBJ would trade for him doesn't mean a contract like 8.75 x 8, 9 x 8 or 9.3 x 8 would be right though.

I don’t think too many teams trade for Horvat

For the 100th time I am arguing the "negative value" take
So you agree, Lindholm at 8.5 would have value.

Depends what he does this year. If he has a repeat of last season, I doubt he gets much more than 7x7. He does worse? May be on a show me deal like Hall.

This is a strange debate. If another team had room in its structure to acquire a player with an 8.5mm x 8 year deal attached, then i guess a trade could happen.
But its effectively untradeable even if the player isn't underperforming because no teams can digest that.

Lindholm in Calgary has been a 0.88 player. Do we seem him continue on that path and is that worth 9 million plus for the next 8 years?
He has shown he can't carry his own line, but he can be a very good complimentary piece on a line. That's the issue I think its hard to figure out.
He has value to us for sure as he fills a hole, but at 9 plus for 8 more years that's a tough one.
