I had it pegged as Italian too. Some jabronie from down the way.

I have watched a few Flames games this season. There is some truth to Lindholm benefitting from Gaudreau. But from what I have seen he is making both Gaudreau and Monahan better because he is the one on the line that does everything well (face-offs, transition, battling in corners) while Gaudreau is elite at stick-handling/ passing and Monahan is better at shooting.
I know you can't prove a counter-factual. I think Lindholm would be slightly less impressive, but still be having a career year, on a line either as the center or opposite winger with Svechnikov.

In our case the grass is actually greener on the other side.

While I understood the trade with Calgary, I hated to see Lindy go. I didn't want to pay him $5 million + per year but would have probably agreed to what he ended up getting. I think he unfairly took some of the blame for the "culture thing". He always seemed a hard worker who was mostly paired with guys with which he was incompatible. Good on him for stepping up...

it seems plausible that nikolay goldobin might be on the outs in vancouver. it seems that has been a place we've been connected to with faulk. what kind of deal would you guys find fair on that front? not sure they have comparable value. we'd need more back, but is it a basis for a deal to be made?

Legit top 4 dman for very mediocre third winger prospect?

From what I have been reading from fans who watch Vancouver, Goldobin sounds like Skinner-lite. He can score a little, but infuriates the coaches with his effort in d-zone. Maybe those posters are overstating his shortcomings. If not, I don't see him working on RBA's team. Though any scoring would be helpful.

I don’t know, he would be on his third team right? He hasn’t been a consistent scorer and it seems like Vancouver being a younger rebuilding team that he should be very much wanted. I don’t think I’d use Faulk for that one.
If we decided TVR was the one to go that would be more of a starting point to me.

Bleed, I think your original point was spot on....we have a guy that we can move....he's a pretty good to very, very good guy (depending on which RHD you're talking about). In no way, shape, or form should we move him for a guy like Goldobin. We need a sure-fire 50+ point guy coming back. Preferably a center, a guy with speed, and/or a guy with size. There are lots of options out there....just not a lot that other teams are willing to consider giving up.

understand the opinions. wasn't sure exactly how goldobin was getting on in vancouver. just number scouting on the surface it looked like something we should be in the mix on. it seems like we're probably not going to pull the trigger on faulk until we feel like bean can play a regular shift.
If they're going to shoot their shot with Faulk, I'd rather have a high pick (a 1st.) J.T. Miller is likely going to be a cap casualty in June. You want to leverage the defense for a Top 6 forward, there's the opportunity. An extra 1st, even in the 20s somewhere, puts the Canes in a better bidding position for him than trying to find a match with one of the non A-level young players in the organization.

If we had swapped Zykov plus whatever for Goldobin it would make sense, or just something along those lines. We have plenty of guys we’re disappointed in too. I’d do a change of scenery trade.
Losing both Zykov and PDG has thinned the herd a bit with our depth. Probably not going to hurt anything but it’s curious a team that struggles as much as we do has just given up two more forwards for nothing after our summer. Just interesting. Forcing us to us Charlotte more is a good thing. Losing two former second round picks for nothing hurts a little.

Flames fan here. Just watching the box score for tonight. Welcome to second half of the season Dougie. Twice the production for the same cap hit, every year after January 1st

This is Hurricanes Hockey
That one poster thinks Kotkoniemmi should get 30 games suspension
Might as well just cancel the league then.

Skinner is trying to keep up with Ovie--but having Eichel out will make it hard. Only two goals without Eichel tonight.

C'mon, are you talking about this low effort, lazy empty netter?
Not sure that there's a play that's more the antithesis of the Hurricanes system than that one. Drive to the center into traffic? Turnover risk. Can't let a player do that, they might get close shot through traffic, which could very easily bounce off an opposing player's body and lose possession. Clearly, not a team player. Why isn't he buying into our metrics?

One Canucks fan went on his Instagram and left a nasty comment on almost every single picture he’s posted.
Multiple others are tweeting George Parros demanding a suspension.
It’s hilarious. The way theyre calling Kotkaniemi a useless scrub you’d think this was Zac Rinaldo they’re talking about.

Meanwhile the Canucks head coach comments to Sportsnet that it wasn't even a penalty.
