Players of Lindholm's quality aren't usually available at the deadline. He moves the needle significantly, for any team. And Vancouver's biggest need was a top 6 forward. It's difficult to imagine a deadline pickup that's much better than this. Great trade for them.
And as a result, they were willing to pay, and Conroy managed to get from them, a good price.
It's a great hockey trade. For both teams.
