What's funnier is OOT analysts saying the Canucks got better/stronger and awarding them As on the trade. Clearly they haven't watched a lick of present day Lindholm to see that his line for most of the season was the weakest on the Flames (a mid, non-playoff team) and his metrics were a far cry from years past, with 1 more goal than Kuzmenko playing 5 more minutes per game.
But yes, he will magically snap back to prime form the moment he steps on the ice for Vancouver.
Marek was making stupid unintelligible noises on his show calling the Canucks "scary now"
Yeah, again, you even watched Lindholm lately? And this is supposed to be a hockey guy.
Meanwhile Flames fans should temper expectations greatly on all pieces acquired. Right... At least the Flames will own those pieces still in a few months.

I'm just not that anti-Lindholm.
He had a miserable season and it certainly looks like he really needs to play with good players to generate offence, but he's a solid 200 foot player.
I just think the uncertainty messed him up. Some players it feeds career years but he looks to be the opposite.
I guess if you're Vancouver you hope he knows he's there for the rest of the year and can relax a bit. If he's still worried about producing for his next contract he may continue to spiral.
But I like Linholm as a player.
