I think putting it the way I did is a bit of a poor way of explaining it. It doesn't have to be a team's first or second choice, but they have to not have other options out there.
What I was trying to communicate is you have to hope a team feels a squeeze while also a desperation to make a move. Then your price can go up, but you may reach a point that there is no one to make a deal with if you wait.

Lindholm is better player but I don't see Vancouver getting better with Lindholm over Hoglander.
Vancouver success is due just as much to their top lines as their 3rd and 4th.
Like it or lump it the Canucks have the best 3rd line in hockey and their 4th line is top 3 in league.

I think Hoglander is not going to be moved for a rental. It's going to be someone off the roster going with Kuzmenko (and not necessarily to the same team anymore).
