All of this nonsense makes sense in a world before the abacus existed.
Do the math people, to pay Lindholm a total contract of 50M, the Canucks would only need to pay him 6.25M per year for 8 years and I expect that Émilie Castonguay will exceed this with her first offer.

Could really see Columbus being a player here if he hits the market. Has experience, is a 2 way center, right handed (we have none), and obviously experience with Johnny.

Dollars today can be invested and used. It’s not the same as getting it spread over a longer period of time. You should upgrade the abacus for a calculator and learn about compounding.
and what about getting wingers for petterson? say they resign both lindholm/zadorov. let go of joshua/bluger. those guys can be replaced. dont think they have enough to even get a winger unless they trade mikyheyvs contract and factoring in oels buyout.So Vancouver can get him at 7 million AAV
We talking cap hits or salary here?
The other guy is talking cap hit and you’re seemingly making statements as if he means salary/signing bonus.

It would be extremely funny if one of Waddell's first moves as POHO/GM were to be signing Lindholm as a free agent, considering one of his first moves as GM in Carolina was to trade Lindholm away.I said it earlier in this thread, Winnipeg and Columbus are my two sneaky favourites to get Lindy in the offseason.
Anyone signing him for 7 years is going to be sadly dissapointed when they get the regular season Lindholm that played for Calgary and the nucks7x7 would be a fine contract for him.
There is no way with Laine and Gaudreau there signing him and they don't even need a center, they have Fantilli, Johnnsson, Sillinger, JennerIt would be extremely funny if one of Waddell's first moves as POHO/GM were to be signing Lindholm as a free agent, considering one of his first moves as GM in Carolina was to trade Lindholm away.
Of those four names, exactly one projects to be better than Lindholm in the next two years. Johnson is not a center, Sillinger is a 3C, and Jenner is already 30 with no playmaking skills to speak of. None of them are reasons not to sign Lindholm.There is no way with Laine and Gaudreau there signing him and they don't even need a center, they have Fantilli, Johnnsson, Sillinger, Jenner
How does Spending 8 million on Lindholm improve the team? It doesnt and they will regret it in years, and Boone is a fine 2nd line center and Johnson has never been given a fair shake at the Nhl level its too early to tell what he can and cant be.Of those four names, exactly one projects to be better than Lindholm in the next two years.

thats the kind of deal that teams that dont play in may signThat's the kind of contract that people are going to laugh at for 45ish weeks of the year, until the playoffs start.
I'm going to need you to show where I said in any comment that they should sign him, and for that amount.How does Spending 8 million on Lindholm improve the team?

Over paying for a player based on one good play off run is a horrible idea
uhm he played poorly the last two seasons minus a few games in the play offsThey wouldn’t be paying for one playoff run, they’d be paying for the centre who has reliably played in all situations for the last six years, who gets you 50-70 points depending who his wingers are, doesn’t take penalties and doesn’t miss games.
$7-7.5 for Lindy on the open market is no stretch. Not for the best centre available for nothing but cash.

64 points is not worth 8 million on a declining playerNo, he didn’t.
He had 64 points the year before last, after his two linemates went to Columbus and Florida. He helped 31 year old Tyler toffoli to a career year.
This season, he wanted out, and had a horrible season offensively. He had no chemistry with anyone, and the best offensive weapon the Flames had all year was included as a throw in in the Lindholm to Vancouver deal.
Not excusing his performance and I’m glad we got what we got for him, but Elias Lindholm is gonna get paid, because his body of work extends beyond the last six months.
