Confirmed with Link: Leafs to sign Pär Lindholm

[Menzinger]

Must have been scouted for a while.

Depth is always good. While I haven’t seen him play I’d have a hard time seeing him ahead of Aaltonen though

 

[Bluelines]

He is a center who could lead a 4th line in the NHL, but also contribute on special teams. Pär can be used in any situation, Peter Wallén (agent) 2018

Very versatile forward who contributes at both ends. Very smart player., Rikard Grönborg (Sweden HC) 2018

Has a professional attitude, very all-round with good hockey sense, Stefan Bengtzén (GM) 2013

Pär Lindholm

So he's got a bit of jam too?

 

[Clark4Ever]

Another free wallet from Sweden? Sure, why not. We need all the depth we can get at centre.

 

[Fonzieleaf]

I have some info on him:

He likes to Pärty and his favourite band is the Alan Pärsons Project. He also doesn't have any unpaid Pärking tickets and he's never had a Pärt time job.

Don't forget to tip your waitress

Gauthier is not an NHL Player. It's over for him. He got his chance this year and blew it.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Hopefully he can cover that 4C slot. May need time in the AHL but we shall see during training camp

 

[Schooner]

The website that I Got that information from said he could be a 4th line centre and play all situations. I don't think Aaltonen was given the benefit of the doubt because we had eric fear and just signed Dom Moore. This guy has like no competition other than aaltonen.

I would be really surprised if we didn't sign or trade for another 3/4 C before training camp. Going in with just these 2 as our only options would not be smart.

If rather play them 10 minutes a game over a veteran 10 minutes per game.

its not often he hits, but when he does...

 

[DowntownConnorBrown]

i like this a lot could be our 4th line center next year if he adjusts to north american rink sizes

One of the two sure, but if you completely neglect veteran presence entirely you end up like the oilers

I'll take 10 minutes of a rookie than a veteran. The oilers issue is they not good upfront after their big 3 and their defense was hurt this year and talbot sucked. Veteran experience isn't gonna change that. Lucic and his 1 goal in 40 games doesn't help the team despite his 'veteran experience'.

 

[Morbo]

The GOAT hasn't fallen at all.

Gauthier was a low ceiling draft pick that had an outside shot of being a bottom 9 forward in the NHL. I don't think anything has changed in that regard.

It has, and remains, a poor draft pick by the Leafs. With that being said, that's not Gauthier's fault - it's not as if he was projected to be a #1C and then fell off. He is what he is.

yep. Not his fault the Leafs deliberately drafted a player they felt had 3rd line upside at best with a first round pick. It was infuriating even at the time.

Best part is, it's the terrible pick that keeps on giving...as we pour more assets down the drain year after year looking to patch the 4C hole. Once Turtleneck departs we're back to square 1 again.

Hunter really needs to restock the C cupboards. I think we're ok at wing but man does it fall off a cliff organizationally after Kadri.

 

[Marshy]

Par for the course for this management group really.

Here's hoping they don't bogey this one.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

How are people finding ways to miserable about a prospect that cost us nothing apart from cash and a roster spot in a position we need more depth in?

Dammit, got here before I could.

Anyway, nice depth move I suppose. Always nice signing a free agent other teams were after.

 

[Lethalsniper007]

Leafs also signed some d from Russia

Is that official yet, that he's signed? It was suggested he would, but I can't find confirmation.

So Aaltonen, Lindholm and GOAT for 2 center positions next year?

What if Leafs hit a jackpot and Tavares agrees to a 1 yr deal (like Hossa did) worth 12 to 13 million dollars for next year?

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I love the Swedish players in the organization. Always room for more

 

[PromisedLand]

I lööv your input too!

meh.... there is nothing "Biggs" about it?

To borrow a quote from Anchorman 2 - I'd be swimming in frothy *****late if that happened.

Is he better then Kontiola
