Signing Lindholm to be 3C is like buying an Audi to haul Christmas trees.

Adding Lindholm to a 1 year deal to help support Cozens and Thompson would be a great move. I assume he would get 8m+ if it were only a 1 year deal though. Having too many good centres is not a problem.

DeMelo and Lindholm would be great adds here. Especially if it were only 1-3 years for Lindholm. I think he gets more on a 1 year deal though. Either way, I think this is well done!

I assume Deharnais gets more than this also. But you can definitely get a big, physical, bottom pair, defensive dman for that money.

You do not sign the top C on the FA market to play at 3C. You do not spend that much money on a 3C. You need a good work truck, not a sportscar. Of course you can never have too many centers, but first of all he gets more than that, and second of all, Buffalo has bigger problems than filling 3C. Better to spend 6.5 million on an actually viable veteran 2RD, for example.

"Better to spend 6.5 million on an actually viable veteran 2RD, for example."

The OP also did exactly just that as well. He signed DeMelo as the very viable veteran 2RD...

In this scenario Buffalo would run 3 lines ALOT. If they have any injuries they have depth. They can also play a guy like Lindholm on the wing also .
