Lindblom Oskar Lindblom Thread: 20-21 Masterton Trophy Winner (9/24/21 Scan - Cancer Free)

[Rebels57]

I don't think the Flyers have a cap space to pay Patrick two millions next season, unless they make a move.

Patrick won't have much leverage either. If we are only paying him $1 million, it will for sure be just for 1 year. He will want the opportunity to earn a bigger contract. Back-to-back 30 point seasons usually equates to closer to Laughton's $2.3 million than $1 million..but it's an unusual circumstance for Patrick.

They can probably easily move Raffl and his 1 year at $1.6 million for cap space.

They could also potentially sell high on Laughton and his 1 year at $2.3 million as well.

You know what I have to say? About all this?

Cancer wins some battles, but is losing the war. And will lose the war, eventually. f*** cancer. Oskar stands for many people now, past, present, and future, just like we all stood for him in the winter time. Let's f***ing go.

Yeah, I definitely expect Patrick to aim for a short term deal. Would probably be the best for both sides.

This contract is an absolute steal. A rib lesion was the best case scenario and I would think it will effect his game at all! He’s going to be right at where he left off after an offseason to recoup. This kind of player is special and he’s going to be a productive reliable NHL talent for awhile. 3 mill a year for that is unreal to me. I wouldn’t be upset at all to see 5 x 5. Great deal for the flyers and good for Oskar for now as I am sure he will get a nice deal next time around.

How in the world is he going to play? I would think no way but why would Fletch put so much out there with the quote? I feel like he could play!

I don’t see Patrick taking a 1 mill deal just based on his draft status. It’s a very odd situation but I would think he would get 2-3 mill for 1-2 years. Assuming he eventually is cleared to play.

Flyers bring back Oskar Lindblom for 3 more years!
GM Chuck Fletcher and the Flyers showing the love <3

I got news a few days ago that a high school classmate recently lost her battle with cancer. So I double down on your f*** CANCER.

I have had a feeling all along that Oskar would play again before Nolan. Even if Oskar doesn't play in the playoffs, I am still more confident in having him on opening night than next season than I am with Patrick. As for his contract, I don't think Nolan will get the same contract. I think they got shorter with lower AAV. Maybe 1 year, $2 million.

same. I agree with everything said. Its so annoying that we dont even know what is wrong with Patrick. Such a wasted time for his development.

Well we know what's wrong, we just don't know how to fix it or how long it will take. It's gotta be absolutely dreadful for Nolan.

My dad is literally getting surgery today to remove some prostate cancer. I can't even go to the hospital due to covid.

 

[TheKingPin]

Mario played the night of his last radiation treatment and scored a goal and an assist haha. I can’t imagine Lindblom playing, but who knows. If he’s cleared and strong enough then I guess it’s his choice.

Wish you could be with him, Cancer is tough on all involved.

Recent report (Russ Joy) said he was cleared to skate and train... wonder how far that means.

I would imagine if he’s strong enough then he could play if he wanted to. Doesn’t sound like the best idea but it may be up to how he’s feeling about it personally at this point. I don’t think he’d be cleared to be with the team if he’s immune system was compromised to a dangerous level. I can see him playing in the round robin or early rounds anyway. I only saw one clip of him skating and he looked great, but I imagine he’s dropped weight and a lot of strength.

 

[deadhead]

I think Lindblom started skating a few weeks ago, so he may not be that far behind in his conditioning.
Probably is further behind in strength, since he might have been limited in terms of upper body work.

Thanks man. Thankfully they caught it early and it didn't spread. Prognosis is good.

f*** cancer.

I would imagine the Flyers would need to get pretty deep into the playoffs before Oskar returning was a realistic possibility.

 

[Appleyard]

I know he has hardly lost any weight. Still seemingly over 190 or so... just that ofc muscle has atrophied, so I guess he has gained a few % body fat and lost several pounds of muscle. Which from my personal knowledge will take months to put back on...

But playing at say... hmm... ~15% BF at 195lbs vs ~10% at 200lbs? Ofc a difference, but dont lose the skill or smarts.

Still would be insane to see him play in playoffs! Cannot believe the chance it will happen really. And so glad.

our luck we get a 2nd round pick and get patrick. Every other year gets you laing, svechnikov, eichel, kakko, byfield.

Back to lindblom....Basically got a top 6 winger via FA for a great deal. Always thought lindblom did things for our team that not many players can do. Guy is a swiss army knife. He is great on the board, down low, solid 2 way player, great IQ, and can play with anyone and anywhere in the lineup. Great versatile player you need come playoff time.

Kakko's rookie season was FAR worse than Patrick's.

In fact, he may have been the worst forward in the entire NHL in 19-20

Otherwise, I get your point..it's frustrating. Hopefully better days ahead for Nolan.

 

[renberg]

That contract is great. 3X3 should give him enough money to last a lifetime. Now he can just focus on being well and playing the game.

What leverage does Patrick have? He just got paid $925,000 and didn't play a game for us. And isn't slated to play now. So now it's been over a year dealing with this and by the time he MIGHT play again, it will be possibly 20 months in between games.

He is not getting 2-3 million with the cap not going up and we have no idea if he can even play next year. he should be signed for 1.25-1.5 million per on a 2 year deal.

 

[Flyotes]

Has no leverage. I wouldn't protect in the expansion draft.

 

[Striiker]

He’s worth protecting just in the off chance he can play. Who else are we going to protect?

I cant see any 2OA pick getting 1 mill on second contract. If he’s getting a 1 year deal I would think it would be 2 million or more.
