Selon @FriedgeHNIC sur 32TTP: « Je pense que (Elias) Lindholm et les Flames parlent. Je crois que les Flames savent que s’ils veulent garder Lindholm, ce sera de l’argent Horvat, dans ce domaine » Horvat a signé un contrat de 8 ans , transaction de 68 M$ avec les Islanders en février.
According to @FriedgeHNIC on 32TTP:
"I think (Elias) Lindholm and the Flames are talking. I believe that the Flames know that if they want to keep Lindholm, it's going to be Horvat money, in that area"

The fact they are talking as opposed to the rumours on Hanifin being traded must be good news right?!?
Also if we get him for the exact same deal as Horvat I would be ecstatic.
I’m super biased because I love Lindy and if we want any chance at winning the next couple years I think we need to keep him, so even if it’s as high as 9.5 a year I still really wouldn’t mind
I dont think a single Flames fan has had an issue with that number since Zibanejad signed that same deal 2 years ago
Im signing Lindholm to an 8.5×8 contract every day of the week.
I do this all day long
Please stay Zebulon. I can’t live in a world where Kadri is our #1 centre
8×8 is totally a winner for us. If we can sneak under 8 then its a lights out deal.
I’m hearing in a few places it’s 8×9.25 for July 1st
If you can keep him under $8.5 AAV you’re doing well.
Please sign so my jersey doesn’t turn into another disappointment
Of all the players in that group of 7, Lindholm is definitely the one to keep in my eyes.
If we sign him? Cool.
If we can’t? Nail the return, and also cool.
Tkachuk is replaceable. Gaudreau is replaceable. But if we lose Lindy… You just don’t find solid two way 1Cs often and the best ones are already locked up. If we lose Lindy, this team is in deep trouble. So I really hope Conroy convinces Elias to stay, he is just too important for the Flames
8.5×8 for a guy who is in selke talks every year is a deal I want on my team.
LOL that’s it? Do it Conny
I’ll chip in for that contract, let’s start a GoFundMe.
I’ll pitch in my life savings for that too!
We can and should sign him but we need to resolve ourselves to the fact that with the big contracts we have already and the number of players we need to sign just to get to 14 and 7 we will have to unload 1 big contract. Currently we have 1.2 million in cap space and need to sign 4 forwards to get to 14 and 1 or 2 D to get to 7 or 8. So that means we are under water already for 4 million and that’s this coming year without Lindy’s big contract. So even if we Trade Hanafin there is 0 room to sign anyone except sub 1 million dollar fillers for the 4F and 2-3D we will need. I say we bring up Pelltier, Zary, Duehr and Phillips for those 4 forwards.
By the time the flames have a new building we’ll be in a worse situation than San Jose now.
This team will never win. They can’t make the hard choices. If Kadri wasn’t here I’d say do the deal, but if lindy signs in the 9m range that means you have 44m committed to huby, Weegar, Kadri, lindholm, Coleman, and markstrom for the next 3 seasons… mostly post-apex players, and we have backs and tofolli as ufas next session.
I would absolutely sign Lindholm to an 8×8 and thank Craig in doing so.
