Can’t really see why they signed him or what he brings to the table that helps them but I also said that about Nordstrom last year so what the f*** do I know
I don't know much about this player, other than his stat history. Any thoughts on this signing? What role is he best suited for?
GEtting killed on the trade board for being terrible by being who a lot of him.
WWWWHHHHAAAAATTTTTTt?
Man sorry about that....Lindholm is getting killed on the main board for sucking by the Leafs fans that watched him last year
This player sucks. He had better be in Providence come Opening Night.
They didn’t give him a two-year, one-way contract to stick him in Providence.
He is 27, he is not a hidden gem. At least Wagner and Nordstrom had proven value and made sense as depth pieces. This move is irrelevant so long as we don't see him in Boston... but surely there was another depth player who could be signed if Boston is the target.
Unless there is expansion draft logic here.
I don’t know if he’s a hidden gem or not. I’m just saying the fact that they gave him a 2 year deal with $100k bonuses each year means they see something in him and I don’t think they make that kind of investment if they were planning to just stick him in the minors on day1.
where'd you see bonuses? i mean if they are giving a plug like that bonuses, maybe we should all have our hands out.
can't be right.
speaking of bonuses, acciari got $1M signing bonus. good for him. such a great dude.

I bet we could go back and find a few posts almost exactly like this about Nordstrom before last season.
Just like Nordstrom, this guy is in the plans - and will probably end up playing a lot. Right or wrong. For good or bad.
I get a feeling, he’s gonna be Nordstrom - but not as good. Nordstrom Lite.
I really hope he’s genuinely good at face offs. I remember when we were good at those.
if that`s the assessment from Leaf fans then you know it has to be trueMan sorry about that....Lindholm is getting killed on the main board for sucking by the Leafs fans that watched him last year
I think it’s a reaction to losing Acciari. Kuraly and Acciari were the two options for 4c. Now the two options are Kuraly and Lindholm. There were times during the year where Kuraly looked better at LW. This gives them the option to go back to that: Kuraly - Lindholm - Wagner.Could the signing have something to to do with the expansion draft down the road?
That would be called a Nordstrom RackI am not sure if a lesser Nordstrom is a good thing.

He only has one year. I understand he didn’t look great all last year but that was both his rookie season in the NHL and his first year in North America. He may not be a hidden gem, but he could be better than he was now that he has a year under his belt and has adjusted. He put up impressive numbers in Europe his last two years, maybe they saw something in him over there that makes them believe that’s the case.
or they still aren't good at pro scouting. i wasn't a big fan of nordstrom last summer, so happy to give lindholm
some rope to see what we've got with him.
