Yes please.

Buyers remorse?

 

[wintersej]

Well that's fun.

 

[JKG33]

That would make for a spicy deadline. Rare to see a player not workout and get flipped that quickly.

I also feel like this maybe has something to do with EP re-signing, now they don't need a backup plan at C and can instead get a winger which was more of a need.

Rockstar shit from Vancouver if they successfully pull this off

 

[Ryder71]

Should be very interesting.

 

[wej20]

Would be wild.

Now that would make for a spicy deadline. Rare to see a player not workout in a situation and get flipped like that

Last one I remember was Max Lappierre, Ducks got him for a 3rd, Vancouver got him from them for a later 3rd.

Specifically at the deadline at least

This reminds me of Vegas trading a fortune for Tatar only to trade him as a cap dump in the Pacioretty deal like 3 months later

 

[The Great Weal]

I like the balls from the Nucks management, but of course it depends on what the assets are.

Vanek was the only other one I could think of.
Besides situations like Halak when Buffalo had no desire of ever playing him.

 

[Rude Dog]

didnt see that coming

 

[thaman8765678]

Lindholm that bad? Wow.

 

[Ryder71]

Rossi (I know) talking up Jake and VAN. Saying ''that JR normally gets what he wants and he wants Jake''. He's speculating but...

 

[newsportsfan123]

Bad asset management from Vancouver unless they recoup the assets they lost in the trade for Lindholm from Boston.

Lindholm in Boston is my dream scenario

It has to be like 95% of the value.

If it's 70% that doesn't look good asset management wise.

 

[Captain Mountain]

Vanek being traded twice as a rental was a decade ago, not sure how many we've seen since then.

We're due for another trade like that.

 

[FlyguyOX]

How the heck does boston do it

 

[Some Other Flame]

Lindholm really did Klingberg himself

 

[Detroit Knights]

I knew it. Dahliwal came out and said that vancouver wanted to trade for a player but not a rental, they'd have to stay there because they don't want to trade for a rental "again".

Speculation was that could have been zadorov, but I was thinking Lindholm. That would be crazy...such a great trade if it were a signed lindholm, but pretty big overpayment for a rental.

Wonder how true all this is.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Yeah I think they likely just get a 1st back for him, basically meaning they lost Brzustewicz for nothing. Although you can argue that the first Lindholm trade was still worth it based on getting out of Kuzmenko's deal.

Actually wait, Boston doesn't have a 1st this year either. They could dangle a 2025 1st, but the Canucks already have a 2025 1st.

 

[Captain97]

But why? Just ball out and go for the win. Imagine casually putting Lindholm as your 3c for a playoff run with an insane top 6.

You already have one!

Lindholm in Boston is my dream scenario

He hasn't been good this season at all. It isn't just the lacklustre offensive numbers, but the defensive metrics are also pretty bad (sans face-off %). Negative relative possession metrics in both Calgary and Vancouver, and it isn't by an insignificant amount either. Just off my eye test in the 1-2 games I watched, he was a no show.

If there is one place that could fix him up, its Boston. Marchand and or Pasta flanking him is just what he needs, but this isn't the Lindholm of 2022 or even last season that you are getting. This season is either a one-off or the start of a legitimate decline.
