Uhhhhhhh nothing. Unless Carolina wants Kapanen??? No point for Toronto to grab a forward.

Actually, Elias Lindholm still has great potential and might flourish in a new environment.

so hyman + brown for lindholm?

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

No reason for him to be available at the moment for the price the Leafs would be willing to pay. He's not expendable.

Try again in the offseason, if his contract demands are too much for Carolina to bear.

Brown is unlikely to be dealt anywhere. His contract and what he brings are fantastic. Leafs need more players like Connor Brown, not less.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

No way do we deal him for any pieces the leafs would offer.

We need a top 6 with potential to be a low-end 1C if we deal Lindholm.

 

[rent free]

isn't lindholm a center? isn't that what carolina needs?

Seems like they moved him to the wing permanently, I don't know why the Leafs would want him. He'd be a good add to try filling as the #3C but otherwise, I'm not too sure we need him....especially considering his acquisition cost.

 

[PatrikBerglund]

Lindholm is an intelligent player who lacks the wheels to be a great winger. Should be used as center since he is good defensively and positionally.

I bet he could look good centering Nylander and JVR.

Lol, if those two go, Babcock will go with them.

You think hyman and brown are worth more than lindholm?

Ok how about brown for lindholm then?

My thoughts on Hyman and Brown have nothing to do with what I originally posted. THat was more to do with Babcock's thoughts on Hyman and Brown. I think Brown and Lindholm are similar which is a compliment to Lindholm because I think a lot of Brown. However, I wouldn't do the trade because Brown's a hometown kid and took a pay cut just so that he could play here long term. I respect that kind of loyalty and character. But it's not a bad deal. I'd gladly give you Hyman though.

Yet he's been far more successful as a winger than a center.

[RodTheBawd]

He would look incredible in Toronto, but it ain't happening. No reason at all for Carolina to move him for what Toronto would give up.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

the conversation starts and ends with nylander

I know. Makes no sense.

 

[FaulkYouAho]

Lindholm can play both wing and center but he is better at wing tho. Lindholm is a player i feel is full of untapped potential and will hit it at january (as most of the team does) and go off like a rocket at another 60 point pace. i say no we are not trading him.
someone we can trade you is derek ryan lol you guys don't want him do ya. we'll throw in faulk for nylander! once in a lifetime offer by the one and only Billy Mayes!

ok in all seriousness i will stop and just so you know we are not trading lindholm.

 

[Smif]

Lindholm isn't comparable at all to Nylander. Nylander and Aho are comparable but Lindholm is a notch below.

Kadri or Nylander. Overpayment? Yes, but Carolina needs forwards, there's no reason to trade one of their own unless they are getting one back.
