Friedman: Par Lindholm to the NHL; Canucks Interested

[CraigBillington]

Depth plays a huge role in post-season success.

Don't get me wrong, I recognize that. I just think that, if he does sign, expectations should be tempered.

 

[glucker]

Leafs should take a flyer on him, need C depth in their system. He’d have a pretty good shot at making the team with 2C spots open, and a good shot at making the playoffs his first season in the NHL.

Seems good for both parties.

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.

The cutoff is 23/24, based on the player's age as of Sept 15th. Panarin was considered 23 as his October 30th birthday came after the cutoff.

Putting Nylander as 2C might do the trick.

Definitely an option, it’s nice to have the depth though.

 

[Siludin]

If the Canucks sign a Swede, it's a Gradin selection and I'm optimistic

Gotta make room for the 6/5 Bozak signing. Barf

 

[Seatoo]

Why would any SHL UFA even consider signing with the team after how they treated Rodin THREE TIMES?

He was close to playing this season on the team, but his massive knee injury ended that tenure for good as it was re-injured.

He was never seriously considered for the big club, don't kid yourself

 

[Scott Stevens]

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

I feel like Jason Bourne is not the name you wanted here.

 

[Mathew Barzal]

Who's your inside source?

 

[CraigBillington]

Ahhhh... I can't remember his name.. Bob Bourne's kid

 

[VictorLustig]

He's signing with the Leafs.

[elitepete]

That’s disappointing

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

What's with the Canucks trying to get Swedish players?

 

[Scott Malkinson]

Not surprised he picked Toronto.

4C at best

This guy knows.

 

[Liferleafer]

4C at best

Well, the Leafs need both 3 an 4C, so that's fine with me.
