bottom line

if we acquire Lindholm, he's going to be 3rd line center in a conference with nowhere near the type of centers in it that he usually faces every night as a #1 center in the Western Conference

lindholm could also play RW and get a cheaper center

But my plan of choice if I’m Drury would be Tarasenko and a lesser named 3C. That does the least damage to the future assets while fixing most of the issues up front and would probably allow to tinker the defense too

In general, It’s hard not to envision one of these rentals added, seems like a forgone conclusion

I have a hard time believing that the Rangers dont go after Tarasenko. They might resign him this time since they have the capability to do so now. Also gives them more time to not rush Perreault.

Yea agreed. Makes more sense then last year even

in my mind the only untouchables are Cuylle, Othmann and Perreault

I think any of the other prospects and draft picks are up for grabs

Lindholm wouldn't have to play 21 minutes a game anymore, and neither would Trocheck. Even though this team hardly plays PP2, having Lindholm makes its far more capable since he's one of the best in the league at faceoffs.

He's 2nd for forward among the flames started in the defensive zone. He's 2nd for forwards for shifts started in the offensive zone.

They aren't setting him up to fail. He just hasn't been good.

Great, fantastic, I still want him.

if he was playing great, the price would be higher

This is how I feel about all those charts.

Im not saying they are without merit, but you cant neglect the old fashioned eye test.

the point is Lindholm wouldn't be utilized on the Rangers as he has been this year for the Flames

but he's a guy who is capable of stepping up if Mika or Trocheck were to go down

He would also lighten he load on Mika and Trocheck.

LOL. Ok so when I point facts, people are just gonna dig deeper. Internet never disappoints.

if the Flames were playing Johnny Brodzinski in the role they have played Elias Lindholm this season, with the same icetime, Im going to say that Brordzinki's advanced stats would be pretty terrible

if he was playing great, the price would be higher
- jimbro83

Price is gonna be high regardless because he's a pseudo number 1 center.

My biggest issue getting Lindholm is he limits the chances of us doing more things. I think we need quantity over quality this year

For arguments sake

Tarasenko - first line
Sissons - third line
Dowd or Blackwell - fourth line
And idk…Jake Bean - D depth

As opposed to Lindholm and Taranseko and then we’re done and stuck with the depth issues still. We kind of need 3, maybe 4 guys added in

And I don’t think I gave up the farm getting that

Im not married to the idea of getting Lindholm, I'm just making a case why his overall play this year for Calgary doesn't concern me

I'm way more confident in this than all of the eggs in the Lindholm basket.

I don’t think they get him. I agree with you and Aec tho that he’d be a much better player here. If they could re sign him then it’s more worth it. I just don’t love the idea and haven’t for awhile

Yea agreed. Depth is destroying us this year, lack of it I mean. TBH, kind of like the 94 TDL is what they need to do

So is below avg goal tending from Igor...But it is ok, we can ignore it.

Why are you always looking for a fight? I’ve killed him relentlessly this season

well no chance we have a guy like Quick again after this year at 800k either

What do you want them to do? Trade Igor?

Kakko, a 2nd overall pick, is scoring at 0.39 ppg, Glass, a 6th overall pick, is scoring at 0.40 ppg, not sure how Glass can be considered a bigger disappointment than Kakko.
- Reubenkincade

Your math and ppg assignments are a bit off.
