To cycle back on this trade though, I hope Sharangovich is what the Flames scouts think he can be. I don’t like this trade as it is - I think there’s too much risk on Calgary’s side given how Sharangovich trended towards the end of his time in NJD…but I really hope he swings back around.
I also don’t like the trade because it does carry a certain “compete now” weight to it, and I think that’s a silly first step for Conroy because if they can’t retain Lindholm (and I don’t think they should), the bottom falls out of this team and any attempts to stay relevant become even more fever-dream based.
So why lead with this trade when you don’t really have a direction set…unless of course, you believe the direction is set - regardless of whether you have your 1st line centre or not…? That’s what I suspect is the truth of it, that this team isn’t being realistic about their roster construction with and without Lindholm. As a fan I’m just looking for a clear direction…and this trade is leaning towards a certain direction that to me just doesn’t make sense anymore.
