Re-signing Lindholm is about making the best high-floor bet. He better helps them do what they already do: Low event, risk free hockey. He does not, however, change them enough in order for them to get to a new level. That's what an elite winger like Guentzel would do.
The more you look at what Allvin-Rutherford have done, the more you see that they are about making floor bets. They are aggressive in making those bets, but the players themselves are rather conservative for upside. More about making every position NHL calibre, than to try and shoot for the moon (upside). That's why it makes sense that the would try to re-sign Lindholm.
Last: With a rising cap, a locked AAV for term is valuable, provided the player is good. Lindholm is a low end 1C on balance, and that is valuable overall.
Sat on Canucks Central: They're likely moving Mikheyev and Garland. Joshua probably leaves as well.
