Kind of curious as to what people think... not based on anything but looking at Eastern Conference rosters, and seeing who could use a Lindholm.
Washington has had Kuznetsov on the block for a while. It sounds like a bit of an attitude problem, but familiarity can breed contempt. Two years left at $7.8. The Capitals do have the horses to make it work. The trade fixes their cap problem, and can offer Connor McMichael and Vincent Iorio in return. Lindholm becomes their built in Backstrom replacement.
Calgary gets a mercurial but talented center on a palatable contract, a mishandled centre prospect in McMicheal who looks to be topping out as a 3rd liner, but has the tools of a top sixer, and a very Rasmus Andersson-y RD prospect.
Not great, but comparing that to the Boston offers swirling around?
