Why the hell would they bounce Zadirov?A few thoughts:
- It's interesting that while Allvin was trying to get rid of Poolman's contract, McCrimmon in Vegas is leaning hard into the LTIR space created there. Very different managerial styles.
- The lack of a push for a top6 addition speaks to management's opinion of Suter. They value this player highly.
- The swing forward in the top6 is Mikheyev. Whatever value he has around the league, it seems like this management team values him more. CGY didn't share that opinion though re: Tanev trade.
- BOS is playing some dirty pool here. They floated Lindholm's name, imo. This way, even if things go better for the remainder of the season, he knows a team is waiting for him in FA.
- I thought Zadarov would move to make a lateral RHD trade (Tanev/Walker), My guess is that they weren't getting enough from DAL (who were rumoured to be interested in Zadarov), pre Tanev trade, in order to execute it. Then DAL grabs Tanev instead.
- The Computer Boys (CAR) get Kuznetsov. I like it for them because it's just primarily money. They have the base for him to succeed. Let's see.
Why would they dump Lindholm a couple weeks after acquiring him?
How you connect Mik to Tanev is odd.
