I doubt Lindholm signs that, so it all breaks apart.
Although I understand the Buffalo-tax thing, here are the facts with Lindholm:
--he's presently deployed in a third-line center role on the 'Nucks, which is where he'd be on the Sabres
--he's had only two seasons above 64pts since Carolina traded him away, one of them was his first season with the Flames (27+51; 20:02 ATOI)
--his best season was two years ago (42+40; 19:57 ATOI)
--since then his production has dropped: 22+42 in 2022-23, 15+29 with CGY and VAN this past season
--his ice time has also dropped--18:39 in 2022-23, 19:42 combined CGY/VAN, but 17:42 after the trade to VAN
--he'll be 30 this December
Having said all that, I think he'll come in at $5.5-6M on his next contract. I went with the lower number, and I would go into that $6M area or higher, but on a three-year deal instead of four.
