Yeah looks like he Klingberg’d himself. I could see a one year deal or, if he wants term, a team taking a risk offering 3-4 years at $4-5 mill in the hopes that he can bounce back.

Still think he’d be a good fit in Winnipeg as 2C, and would love for Chevy to work that out in the offseason… maybe a 1-2 year show me deal at 4-4.5 mil AAV, with performance bonuses attached.
Reality though is he probably goes to a US team… possibly Boston

I'd like the Sens to sign him ngl, I think he'd fit with the group whether as a C if Pinto/Norris inevitably goes down, or as a RWer.
I think there's too much smoke around Boston. If they move Ullmark they should have the cap space to make it work. If they can get him at a discount based on his time in Vancouver I think he outperforms his contract in Boston

I would be on board offering him a 2-3 year deal with an AAV of upto 5.5 million on the Kraken. Would be an upgrade on Wennberg and give time for Wright to ease into the 2C role.
Even with his disappointing season I think he would get much much more than 4-4.5 AAV in a short deal. Probably closer to a 7 AAV if he signs a 1 or 2 year deal.
Detroit would definitely be interested.
I’m sure there will be no lack of suitors even with a down year

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.

Somewhere for way too much and way too long
lindholm is gonna sign somewhere that he gets decent wingers (detroit with debrincat/raymond, boston with pastrnak or colorado with nuke/lehk) and is gonna be 'the steal of the summer'
he hasn't been great in vancouver but he's centering garland and podkolzin. none of them can finish

Boston will sign him for 6ish and then he will go back to ppg

I mostly agree, but Colorado just traded Byram for Mittlestadt, so I'd be surprised if they'd be in the mix for Lindholm.

If the Preds as they are now the real Preds, I can see Trotz going after Lindholm to run with this core as long as he can.

columbus needs a veteran center and has the winger that had the most success with lindholm, and vice versa
pending that, sounds like he was willing to talk extension with boston

If you look at the responses, its pretty clear there are lots of team that would love to sign him and think they're gonna sign him for a big discount. With the amount of bidders this should probably tell you that its not going to be a big discount. Might not be 9x8 or anything, but its not going to be cheap.

I think his play in Calgary and Vancouver probably means there isn't a long term big money deal out there for him, but he may get a big money shorter term deal.
