Personally, I think the 4th rounder is unnecessary. I like Debrusk, but the 2 prospects we would get in Lohrei and Harrison would be great. Lohrei is a 6'4" defenseman who put up 32 points in 40 NCAA games this past season. Obviously, he's offensive-minded with keen vision and playmaking ability, and can QB a PP. He's developed a nice two-way game as well, and is good at starting the breakout. Harrison is a 6'3" center with a great shot and is well known for his defensive game. His floor is 3rd-line C, IMO. I've watched him play many times, and while he's not flashy and keeps things simple, he's effective.

I don't like that deal.
In terms of what I want back I wouldn't want less than what Vancouver received for Horvat.
Lindholm may be a little older but he is significantly better than Horvat. Not getting back a first wouldn't be a deal breaker for me but I would still want the appropriate value.
If that is the best deal any team is offering you have to try and re-sign him. At the end of the day the past trades set expectations going forward and if you accept little for Lindholm GMs are always going to play hardball with Conny.
