How did Lindholm look yesterday?
Is he starting to gel and improve with the team?
High price to pay so far.

I’m not sure too many posters would disagree with that sentiment.I think the truth is that the Flames wanted to do a retool and Lindholm didn't want to play on a losing team, so it made mutual sense to move on from each other
This seems like a sensitive topic for you.I love fans of other teams in here bring this thread up again and again.
Everyone so full of desire to get instant analysis on winners and losers, to rub posters faces in it, be it flames fans or Canucks fans. The Flames got a box of magic beans and a player that was struggling in Kuzmenko. We are going to have to wait for 4-5 years to find out if those beans were any good or not. Vancouver got a player who had been struggling and hasn’t yet found form. Every single news outer had him on or near the top of the list of available players. Now we have a bunch of go getters on here trying to prove how smart they are and how they would have done it differently. HaHaHa it’s all easy with no stake in the game and no one to hold you accountable when your wrong.
Anyhow, they were on a long road trip when we had acquired with 10 games in 17 nights and the whole team has slumped. Yes he has been underwealming, bur the coaching staff keeps talking about how he is doing the right things. Tocchet hasn’t been a guy that says a bunch of Bs and has been honest about players play. So let’s take a breath and give it some time.
You’re gonna get a chance for a gotcha moment in time… I promise.
Canucks probably wont be signing him, in fact he might get traded to San Jose at the deadlineHow did Lindholm look yesterday?

How the super rich feel about Calgary vs. how an average person does is not really comparable.Bingo. Calgary is a fantastic city. Probably my second favourite in Canada after Victoria. Anyone trashing Calgary has simply never been there.
Also, Lindholm is from Sweden, so it’s not like the cold is unfamiliar to him.

As a Flames fan? Yes, absolutely, and I say this as someone who would welcome him back on July 1 (not that I expect that to happen).That being said, seeing as he was moved for significant assets, the question now is was it worth it?
the poster you replied isn’t known to call out posters - perhaps there is some unwritten rules being broken by posters in this thread.This seems like a sensitive topic for you.
Mental health of men who need to express views in a format of conflict on message boards because they don’t have enough control and feel inadequate is something I do care about. I do kind of funny, but more I find it sad. Like, it’s literally a game and here you are trying to get a reaction.I’m not sure too many posters would disagree with that sentiment.

Don’t think that question can be fully answered until the playoffs, but if the team doesn’t re-sign him, it is a pretty expensive rental.

You’re the one getting worked up by some pretty innocent posts. Perhaps you are the one who needs an outlet? Crying about a “reaction” and then giving said reaction might not be the right response to said trolls.Mental health of men who need to express views in a format of conflict on message boards because they don’t have enough control and feel inadequate is something I do care about.

So, I’m going to ask.. are you okay… if not DM me and I will help you find a phone number to get you the support you need.
The reaction to “how is lindholm doing” is weird. Whatever you’ve interpreted as conflict or a provocative post is definitely created by your interpretation. Apologies for the confusion!Mental health of men who need to express views in a format of conflict on message boards because they don’t have enough control and feel inadequate is something I do care about.

I think he needs to find ways to add points, his defensive play has been okay to good, but he is needed to solidify the top 6.The reaction to “how is lindholm doing” is weird.

Moving back to the thread topic, and away from amateur backyard Yukon psychiatry, how have you liked lindholms play and what are your thoughts on the trade so far?
For what it's worth Kuzmenko has been by far our worst forward. Dryden Hunt is playing in the top 6 ahead of him. He's exactly what I said he was. The winner/loser won't be known until later. It could even be win/win. Lindholm was acquired for a playoff run. That hasn't happened yet. How we do in the trade comes down to the 1st and Brzustewicz. That would be known for 2-5 years.I think he needs to find ways to add points, his defensive play has been okay to good, but he is needed to solidify the top 6.
I’m okay with the trade even if he doesn’t work out. A last first in an okay draft, a fourth (I don’t value highly) a prospect that the team was about to give up on, and a prospect jn Bruz that has potential but is very boom bust. It can’t be forgotten that Kuzmenko was having a tough year and had hamstrung us with the cap and the cost of moving those type of players with term has traditionally been a first. So lets Say that Bruz and a fourth for Kuz and a first and a nothing prospect for Lindholm. I make that trade all day every day. Doesn’t make it work out and this one is in doubt.
I do think that a small chance exists that they flip him at the deadline, it would be a totally trader Jim move. Our defence can’t stay healthy and I think that has been more disruptive to our transition game ther is being discussed and is a big reason we have struggled. It has also out to much pressure on Hughes and Horonek to carry the whole group allowing easier game planning for the opposition.
But that’s just my view
Lindholm takes a one year prove it deal for 3-4M.
The irony is unless he turns it on come playoff time, this may not be all that much of an exaggeration. Probably more in the 5.5-6M range ala Klingberg's 7M with Anaheim. Either way, he's almost certainly pissed away millions if the Calgary rumours are true.
