Bro that's best case scenario. He's currently on pace for 45 points at a -15.Lindholm is still going to get 6.5+ on a longer term deal. Worst case he's a 50ish point 2C that plays Selke defense. People suggesting sub-5m and comparing him to Klingberg are delusional. Klingberg was a 1 trick pony that was a liability when he wasn't producing.
I had the same thought, the Metro is weak as f*** and if they added Lindholm and did something about their goaltending, they could easily be a playoff team IMO.
He will also be 3 seasons removed from one season he was ever in the Selke talk. He hasn't cracked the top ten before or since.
Turns 30 next year, i dont see him getting much. Certainly not the 8 years at 9 million the flames offered (thank god he said no).
I see him coming in at around 5 mil AAV for 4 years.
Honestly depends how well he does in the playoffs at this point. He has a chance to creep back into the 7-8 million range if he has a good run.
