Great, thanks for confirming, Bingo. Interesting because the rumours out of Vancouver are that the Canucks are shopping both Kuzmenko and Zadorov to clear cap space, which makes me wonder if they are doing this to bring in a guy like Lindholm if maybe it's the same situation as the Zadorov case where they don't want to retain on Lindholm and would rather retain on other contracts they plan to move out.
EDIT - though hopefully the Lindholm trade isn't to Vancouver. Kuzmenko rode a killer shooting percentage last season and was signed to a bad contract by Allvin who thought his production was legit. Also not interested in either Hoglander or Podkolzin...
