Seravalli: Lindholm, Hanifin, and Toffoli will not go into next season with a year left on their deals. They will either be extended or traded

[Bond]

Lindholm and Hanifan to Boston forDebrusk,Zacha,and Frederic!

Boston getting the two best players in the deal

 

[TheDoldrums]

Noah Hanifin for William Nylander

not a huge Hanifin fan and wouldn't do this but Treliving probably would

 

[John Mandalorian]

I'd deal Marner for an extended Lindholm +

The plus is Steve Capspace.

 

[waitin425]

No thank you. Toffoli is still useful but he’s just too slow for New Jersey. He would be probably a better fit on NYR or NYI

Okay...let's do Tofu to Columbus for Boqvist. They have a ton of RD.

 

[TLEH]

Think Nylander is worth more than Hanifin but not sure how much more

 

[cbjthrowaway]

Okay...let's do Tofu to Columbus for Boqvist. They have a ton of RD.

the only thing we have more of than RD is wings, so no thanks

 

[treple13]

Huberdeau gets back to ppg and Markstrom have a .915 save percentage and they are back to squinting lol. It's not an outlandish rebound for either.

And even as bad as the year was, we still had a better record than a team still playing in the Finals. I think we likely need the young guys to outperform expectations to be a real contender though

 

[johnjm22]

What's the plan in Calgary? Are they going to rebuild? Or continue to try and contend?

 

[HighLifeMan]

I'd deal Marner for an extended Lindholm +

For better or worse - Calgary has committed to it's big ticket winger. You can't have two.

Marner to Calgary doesn't make sense.

We will find out. If Lindholm re-signs they will go for it and re-tool with the other UFAs. If he wants out I don't know how they re-tool as they will be lacking a #1C.

Do you really think you can squint even if those two things happen? I just don't see it. Who can score that big goal on this team? I don't know who our best player is even. Is it Lindholm probably? Backlund maybe? Andersson? Are any of those guys top line players or D for Colorado or Tampa?

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Lindholm will likely become a Jacket one way or another

nein nein nein nein

I'd do that, gives another RHD in case Tanev doesn't resign.

100% lol. It's the Flames. The last time they rebuilt was when the Iggy era finally collapsed. If Huberdeau gets to a 100 point pace they'd probably buy at the deadline and keep the UFAs.

 

[Double Dion]

100% lol. It's the Flames. The last time they rebuilt was when the Iggy era finally collapsed.

Even then it wasn't a rebuild. We have no pieces from any of those players except Glencross. We just sucked bad enough to get a couple of top 10 picks. I'm not saying you're wrong that the course you are suggesting will happen, I think you're probably right. I'm just saying it shouldn't be the course. You don't have to bottom out and get 4 top 3 picks, but you do have to start managing assets and building a new core.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

I hope they re-sign both Lindholm and Hanifin minimum. Trade Toffoli to Carolina for 2023 1st rounder and Coghlan.

 

[Andrei79]

Lindholm - re-sign.
Hanifin - Trade for legit first line winger.
Toffoli - trade for futures.

Solid asset management and the team gets potentially better.

I can't see Lindholm resigning while they're bleeding talent.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Nylander + 28th overall
For
Hanifin + Toffoli

Yeah, what I expect them to do versus what I think they should do are different things. My only hope is that Lindholm says he is 100% out and then they will react appropriately. Lindholm has no replacement coming in the prospect pipeline and there aren't any centers better than him that are available.

 

[thefutures]

St louis seems like a team that would make sense

 

[BLNY]

Those are all pretty valuable pieces. My question is do you get more now or at the TDL? IMO the answer is the TDL, so I don't understand the logic of making the moves now if they won't extend.

Don't get much if they're injured. Gauge the market. If the value is there, and Conroy wants to accelerate a reset, now is the time.

 

[jamiebez]

Meh. The guy always disappears when the playoffs start.

 

[Double Dion]

I mean I'm listening now. Most of those contracts (Lindholm, Hanifin, Toffoli especially) are good value so you might get as much now as then. It's just the question of why move now for less? Tanev is the piece I'd be moving now. The others don't get hurt much.

How would the Flames be "bleeding talent"? If Hanifin is traded for a legit top line winger, the Flames have a more talented top 6 than last year.
