Friedman: Par Lindholm to the NHL; Canucks Interested

[Tryamkin]

"1. Another Canadian team that may dip into European free agency: Vancouver. The Canucks are looking at Par Lindholm, a 26-year-old Swedish centre. Several NHL clubs were interested, but believe Vancouver has a good shot at him."

From Elliotte Friedman's 31 thoughts.

Pretty decent SHL numbers

Would he be bound to a standard 2 year waiver exempt ELC?

It should be 1 year given his age. Zatsiev from Toronto only had to do a 1 year deal. Think the cutoff age between 2 vs 1 year is like 24/25.

Panarin was 23, turning 24 in Q4 of 2015 when he signed with Chicago and had to do 2 years on his elc.

 

[Peter Griffin]

Could be a good center for Pettersson who will likely start his NHL career on the wing.

 

[CraigBillington]

Radio in vancouver (Jason Bourne) saying that he would top out as a 3/4C... So not a high ceiling

 

[Drew311]

Par for the course.

 

[Elias Pettersson]

Oh you mean the guy that Pettersson crapped all over in the SHL final?

Was he the guy Aftonblaskan said was calling EP a... you know.

Maybe... Not sure

If Svech is ready to go for next season then no:

Svech Horvat Boeser
Baertchi Gaudette PBP
Lipesic Sutter Virtanen
Goldy Lindhome Mott

Spares: Gaunce Gagner Eriksson

Pass

Just what this league needed. More Lindholms.

 

[Hockey Rush]

I wonder what Vancouver has that might interest him... hmm... EP40 perhaps? We need a C for him. There is Tyler Bozak in free agency or perhaps this guy? He just saw Pettersson dominate the SHL. Could be a good linemate here in VAN.

 

[JuniorNelson]

Canucks can be a young fast team next season. Adding older prospects seems odd. Is there no NHL player willing to join Canucks?

Depth plays a huge role in post-season success.

He just played against EP40 in the finals,and we saw how great he was, so yeah probably him.

Those lines are as brutal as your spelling.

Not as of now.

 

[Kipper933]

He looked good at the Olympics, played a style that could work in the NHL, gritty and very competitive with decent offensive skills.

But, according to EP, he still has a contract in the shl for next year, no?

 

[Dr Pepper]

Any relation to Anton, Elias, or Hampus?

Are these guys like the Swedish Staals or something?

 

[Ivan13]

Par for the course.

 

[North Cole]

Par for the course.

Good one, Gene

 

[WHISTLERNATE]

Worth a shot. Pretty brutal class of UFA centres outside of a few of them. I don't think Gaudette showed enough to be a lock for the NHL next year, so we will need to look into all options.
