I'm pointing out that quantity doesn't make it a haul or an extremely good deal if the quantity has little value.
A late 1st and Brzustewicz for Lindholm is pretty much how Id' sum it up.
Kuzmenko is a cap dump for the Canucks and where Calgary is in their window will be irrelevant to them in the long term which is why I think they deal him before he becomes another distraction for them.

it's a good return. I have no idea what you expected, but Lindholm has been underperforming this year and getting this kind of package for him is a solid deal for Calgary. I personally don't like trading within the division, but I understand why Conroy pulled the trigger here.
reclamation project in Kuzmenko who might turn into a valuable deadline asset in 2025
really good right-handed D prospect in Brzustewicz
another D prospect in Jurmo (more of a long shot, but why not)
1st round pick (no condition and in 2024)
another draft pick
that's a good deal. The Athletic floated Kuzmenko + Höglander + 1st a few days ago ... in reality, it's Brzustewicz + Jurmo + conditional 4th instead of Höglander. And honestly, I'll take that. Conroy did well.
