Value of: Hampus Lindholm next contract

[Paul4587]

He’s 28. He will push for max term. Similar to Hamilton this off season. If he leaves it will be for the max 7 from another team. 8 if he remains in Anaheim. Figure it will be for 8 years at a $7 mill AAV.

$7.5 AAV for 7 years if he leaves.

He’s not going to age well enough to justify max term. Whoever gives him more than 6 years will regret it, even 6 is a push.

 

[Isles72]

6 mil x the security of 7 years.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

6 mil x the security of 7 years.

I can pretty much guarantee he won’t take less than Fowler’s contract which was 8 x 6.5 mil

 

[PAZ]

From the Ducks - 7-7.5 x 7-8
Free agency 7.5-8.5 x 7

Lindholm is the type of defenseman a GM will break the bank for if he hits free agency.

 

[Hitemwith4]

Ducks should and probably will resign him, Hes #1 dman and can be vet to help the young players through this rebuild. Cant have every player be under 25

 

[WhatTheDuck]

From the Ducks - 7-7.5 x 7-8
Free agency 7.5-8.5 x 7

Lindholm is the type of defenseman a GM will break the bank for if he hits free agency.

A lot of these other predictions are far too light, but this seems pretty much spot on.

 

[jjniner]

Krug and a 1st!

 

[JC704]

$7-7.5 million x 7 years

Easily worth it.

 

[TK 421]

Krug and a 1st!

No way they take 6.5 years of Krug as part of the return. Think Blues unprotected 1st and one of Neighbours or Bolduc as the value portion and Anaheim takes 2.5 years of Scandella.

The bottom line is Anaheim doesn't even have enough incentive to make the deal I proposed, they would much rather keep their top pair workhorse LD and re-sign him. Frankly I doubt that Hampus would want to leave Anaheim at all. His sister works for the Ducks and reports indicate he's happy there. In my experience players would just assume stay put if the contract is close and I'll bet the Ducks offer a contract he'll accept. Sucks for us Blues fans who covet him but I think we'll have to find our new Bouwmeester somewhere else.

 

[TopShelfWaterBottle]

I wonder how California’s steep tax system will play a part

 

[MMC]

Just curious what other fans would want their teams to sign him to if he hits the market?

 

[Mrfenn92]

Yes would love him on the hawks

 

[WTFMAN99]

Something around 7x7 I think.

I could see it go as high as 8 though.

 

[FameFlame069]

If he gets less than AP did, I'd laugh, I think that's the lowest he'll take in FA

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

From the ducks I think he goes 7 mill for 8 years. If he makes it to free agency 8 to 9 mill at 6 or 7 years. I'd love for the leafs to trade muzzin and holl in the offseason and sign Lindholm.

 

[Pia8988]

If he gets less than AP did, I'd laugh, I think that's the lowest he'll take in FA

significant gap in production between the two.

 

[Petey O]

I'd say 8m/7

[Stealth JD]

Blues would give him the obvious contract for #2D-men:

$45.5M over 7

 

[McDonald19]

Blues would give him the obvious contract for #2D-men:View attachment 491254

$45.5M over 7

He’s better than those comps.

$6.5 Mil. per isn’t going to get it done.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

He’s better than those comps.

$6.5 Mil. per isn’t going to get it done.

Is more of a joke now in Blues world that everyone gets a 6.5mil contract over 7 years.

 

[Djp]

Teams should be very concerned about yrs 5-7 in a contract

 

[bsu]

 

[The Red Line]

A lot of teams will want him if he hits FA.

I'd love him on the Wings, but don't want to over pay and give crazy term. I'd go 7mil for about 5 years but I'm sure some other team would be willing to beat that.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Could Trouba’s, Chabot’s or even Miro Heiskanen’s deals be somewhat of a comparison to what Hampus Lindholm will get when he signs an extension with Anaheim or a new deal via free agency.

For what defenseman have gone for lately, the market is open to spending for a top pairing all game situation defenseman.

Lindholm won’t quite be in the Dougie Hamilton range but could come in around 8.25mil to 8.5mil range if Lindholm were to make it to the open market.
