That’s like calling a Ferrari, “something to get you from point A to point B.”
The other players I mentioned would be possible secondary assets in a deal.

Calling Swayman a Ferrari is a stretch. A massive stretch. NOT a player you move a #1 center for. I get that your thing is to pump up prospects but the suggestion is laughable. It would be like the Flames suggesting they could get a #1 pivot for Dustin Wolf, regardless of the number of other prospects thrown into the mix. You make that deal for a proven starter that can transform a franchise, and this is not Swayman. Goaltenders are voodoo and there is way too much risk on them. I don't see any goaltender changing the fortunes of this team. They need more offense and losing a player of Lindholm's stature for another goaltending "prospect" would be a massive failure and cost anyone making that decision their job.
