It would be the most expensive TDL rental in recent memory. IMO it’s outrageous if it’s only for 2 months of Lindholm.
I was hoping Ducks could build around him, but, oh well.
I really don't see Krejci coming back and I don't want him at this point in his career. He wasn't the same player that he was 10 years ago when he left for Europe and he's another year older now. He was a very good Bruin player for years but that ship has sailed.
Meh, he’s one of those guys who is okay-ish at everything, but doesn’t really excel at one thing. Bruins fans got overexcited because he played decent alongside McAvoy, but I’ve never been impressed by him. He’s also soft and VERY frequently injured. Got concussed from a dirty elbow by Borowiecki the second game of his Bruins career three years ago and has had a slew of injuries since.
Yeah, but Hampus Lindholm has played an average of 50-60 games since 2019, so I think it's tit-for-tat.
Vaakarainen is injury-prone; that's the problem. Hope he recovers from his injury-prone character in Anaheim.
That's my main knock on the trade. Vaakarainen's injury and concussion history is pretty worrisome. I wanted Verbeek to get a better prospect.
Too early to tell, but I would like prospects without a worrisome injury history, unless they have a super high ceiling that makes the risk worth it. Getting a prospect who's ceiling is a lower 2nd pairing dman with that injury history, isn't worth it. You can find those type of prospects pretty easily.
