Sorry if you’ve posted before on this before - but what do you think Lindholm is worth? What do you think Hanifin is worth?

I think recent history in trades shows that:

Lindholm is not worth 3rd overall, and unlikely to be worth a top-10 pick by himself.

Hanifin is worth a later 1st + two 2nd round picks.

To CBJ: Lindholm, Hanifin
To CGY: 3rd overall + 34th overall

To me that trade is not bad value for either side. Flames get a foundational pick in a strong year (and a depth pick) while Columbus effectively presses the fast forward button. It’s the best case scenario for in my eyes - and I still don’t know if Columbus does that. 3rd overall picks just don’t get moved.

If Lindholm goes on the market, no one is bringing something more valuable to a 3rd overall pick to the table.

Quality > Quantity.
