Would this do Elias Lindholm?
Open to suggestions.

yes it would and you guys can even have retention for that price imo

I honestly don't hate this. Maybe a slight upgrade on Axel, but Brad Lambert & 1st is the focal point the Flames need

Flames should definitely do this trade

Too much, doubt the Jets would trade Lambert, should look at cheaper options if this is what it takes to get Lindholm.

Winnipeg is a draft and develop team. Less than a 0% chance Lambert is available for a rental.

I think that's too much for Lindholm. Realistically, why would you trade that much for Lindholm when you probably don't have the cap space to extend him as he will be seeking $8.5M when you could get Monahan for less and possibly extend him too.

Monahan career 0.704 P/GP
Lindholm career 0.688 P/GP

Monahan last 2 years with MTL 0.703 P/GP
Lindholm last 2 years 0.744 P/GP

Sure I get Lindholm is better but I don't think resigning him is realistic so you're really going all in with him for one year.

Seems like a slight overpayment for Lindholm on Winnipeg's end

Overpay by WPG
Lambert isn’t available
Lindholm should be the primary target, but not for that price.
If that’s what it takes to get Lindholm, WPG should look at Henrique instead

Unretained Lindholm would cost 1st + Lucius + small add like Stanley

Too much it's

24 1st
Chaz Lucuis
Logan Stanley

Unless Lindholm agrees to a team friendly extension, which he wouldnt (why would he), I would suggest not trading your future potential 2C (Lambert) for a rental 2C, cause WPG will just be in the same boat next year, but with even fewer options.
