I feel like Veleno has been more than fine this season as the lowest paid player on the team, I'd like to keep him around until he gets paid a bit more.
That's a lot to give up for a rental 2C in Lindholm. Probably a no thanks from me for an equivalent deal with the Wings if there is not an extension in place. Kuzmenko is still a really good piece in the trade even if he's "underachieving" right now, 95 points in 124 NHL games so far in his career. He just didn't seem to fit with Rick Tochett. I think the Flames did well here, it is going to take a lot more of those kind of moves to get out of their roster hell though.
