Only way Lindholm doesnt have more teams bidding on him and a better deal is if he asked for 9.5-10m long term.
At that cap MTL may be able to afford to acquire him but keeping him would be another thing all together.
A deal structured like this at that cap hit of 9.5-10m could only be done if a major contract was going back.
You gotta include Gallagher or Anderson in the deal and that will cost you more then Dvorak and a 1st
I'd say something like Ylonen, Anderson , Dvorak @50% RS for 2 years and CGY 1st for Lindholm who signs for 9.75m for 3 years
Why sign him for only 3 years?
Thats when you Cap Relief runs dry from Price
Also Lindholm will be 31 likely still producing and we can flip him at the TDL before he's a UFA.
We dont need him long term, just long enough for Dach to Develop into a Center full time and possibly Newhook or Beck as well.
If we signed him for 7 years at any cap above our Captains it would be a negative value to us and go against team leadership /GM's message.
But for 3 years i think we could justify it becoming a better team for it and having the option to recoup some of the assets we spent
