I like the idea of adding Arvidsson dependent on his knee.

Not a lot of decent UFA options for top 6 at $2M or less

Just curious, but do you think anyone is offering Lindholm an 8th year?

If a team really likes him, I could see that. Or they could go the NYR route with Goodrow and risk not signing him in FA

A 3rd round pick is kind of an artificial estimate used by Columbus to secure Severson.

I don’t believe Don Sweeney would be adverse to this or giving up a young player instead of a 3rd rounder if he’s willing to give an 8th year to secure Lindholm.

I think going to 7 years is likely the number. Maybe he gives up a secondary prospect to sign him before free agency and know his number

I believe whom they acquire is going to be one of

1. Sign Elias Lindholm
2. Trade Ullmark for Pierre Luc-Dubois and other things
3. Re-Sign Jake DeBrusk
