Speculation: Elias Lindholm rejected a 8 year, 72M dollar deal from Calgary (9.0M per)

[KrisLetAngry]

I bet he gets 8x8

He better start getting some points then.

He scored 40 once beside Johnny Hockey and Tkachuk.

Since he has scored 22 and 8 or 9 so far this season. He better start being better to get 8.

If Calgary takes Johanson back the cap hit will just about even out.

For lindholm not the other teo

 

[Alienblood]

Lindholm is really good, and I’m sure he’d extend with Colorado at a number less prohibitive than $9M.

A 1st + Byram for an extended Lindholm is more than fair.

np thanks

Byram is going the other way in this trade. That’s 4 + 3.85. At 50% retention Salary coming back are 2.43+ 2.48 + 2.25

 

[Junohockeyfan]

If the Avs are including Byram in a trade for Elias Lindholm, they have the inside track. If however they aren't, they are out of the running.

Assuming Byram is not on the table, I think Winnipeg is in the pole position followed by Carolina.

 

[FLAMESFAN]

I wonder if Byram being injured now cools any talks between CGY & Col

 

[Schemp]

I still think Lindholm would look great between Keller and Schmaltz. Have some decent prospects that are still unsigned as well as 2nds and 3rds.

 

[10Ducky10]

2024 1st and Lucius for Lindholm.
Put him between two of the Jets' top 6 wingers (Vilardi Ehlers KC Perfetti) and he gets 70 points.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Anyone signing this guy to 8 plus is gonna look like an idiot so fast.

Colorado needs a goalie more then lindholm..

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Hometown boy - maybe.

Signing a guy like Nylander implies you are trying to contend. You cannot contend without a 1st line caliber center. Without Lindholm Calgary does not have that and there aren't any available any time soon. So the proposal is counterproductive

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Byram is kind of a catch 22 for the Avs here. Like it's pretty obvious they need or at least want to upgrade their 2C position and Byram has not been untouchable level good in Colorado + he has his injury history. He's probably never going to reach an elite level of play behind Toews and Makar but he will also need a raise the same summer as Rantanen. On the other hand he could absolutely reach that elite level playing 1st pair in Calgary.

IMO if he is made available and moved Avs fans should view it similar to how Flames feel with the original Lindholm trade. We moved Fox and Hamilton in that deal and Dougie is a top 15 defenseman and Fox is top 5. But Fox was never going to sign in Calgary and we ended up with a 1C for what was the best line in the league a few years ago and a very good young defenseman

 

[Unbiased Fan]

I agree with this. Turning down the offer doesn’t necessarily mean he’s greedy, it might just mean that he doesn’t want to be there at all beyond this season. I bet Huberdeau would be ok making a bit less money if he had a do-over, with a different team.

Lindholm probably still gets like $6m x 6 from someone this summer.

If Nylander gets 11.5 then Lindholm should get more then that. As a leafs fan.

Without a goalie Colorado is getting bounced in the first round if they even make it. Lindholm is distant #2 Need. With the way our season is going I’m paying for a goalie and figuring out another way to fill the 2c.

 

[Bounces R Way]

I mean if some jackass is going to pay William Nylander 11.25 then Lindholm is at least worth 8.
One of the better 2Cs in the NHL.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Betting money would be the Jets.

I mean sure but finding a goalie upgrade is going to be borderline impossible with the current market. Best bet is hoping Georgiev can be like Bobrovsky or Binnington and turn his game up in the playoffs.

I’m well aware of this. If we don’t upgrade in net we’re screwed and paying for lindholm would be dumb. Our lack of a goalie probably closes the Avs contention

Flames can take back RyJo and retain on Lindholm which would actually give the Avs more cap to find a goalie upgrade. It wouldn't be cheap but the Avs should be in win now mode with how much talent they have. There is absolutely no reason why their window should be closing for several more years.

Shouldn't be making terrible signings just cause another team made one. Lindholm has looked significantly less valuable offensively since Johnny left.

I can’t argue about monies, we have a very shallow list of assets that could bring in both. With Edmonton, Carolina, Toronto that stick out in my mind that need a goalie as well, I just don’t see us having enough for both, we’ll see. Having said that I’d love to have lindholm

You don't pay a 2C 8mil. And no, Malkin or Draisaitl aren't good examples of 2Cs.

 

[mkatcherin00]

This guy looks like casper the ghost most games. He fed off of Jhonny and MT. He is still good, but man he screwed up not signing. You can always get traded later. How the f*** did he get to the All Star game? LMAO

Agreed. Go all in now for the Avs. Don’t think they’ll be able to compete with the jets in trade offers for Lindholm.

Might better suit them to start focusing on a goalie now.

Agreed. Don’t think you have enough for a competitive push for both. You guys NEED a goalie.

 

[dirtydanglez]

i wonder if hes going to regret turning down that offer
