I can't remember if it was also a Dhaliwal or a different insider that mentioned recently how Canucks ownership/management are still pretty pissed about how badly the Lindholm trade went. I'm guessing they feel they really, really need to hit their next big trade out of the park to make up for the fleecing by the Flames.

Yeah. They probably feel they need to get a return that’s better that what the flames got for Lindholm. I would think one of these teams could at least match that trade:

Lindholm return was:

Kuzmenko
Hunter Brzustewicz
Joni Jurmo
1st round pick
4th round pick

So that’s a top 4 organizational prospect (Brzustewicz), a B-level prospect (Jurmo), a 1st round pick, a 4th round pick and a salary dump to make the money work.

If it’s New York, let’s say something like this in comparison:

Zibanejad
EJ Emery
Raoul Boilard
2025 1st round pick (top 10 protected)
2025 conditional 4th round pick (becomes a 3rd round pick if the Rangers make the conference finals)

That’s structuring the trade around what the Flames got for Lindholm. But Zibenejad is a more valuable player than Kuzmenko I think - although it might be evened out by how long his contract is. Kuzmenko only had a year left. The first round pick has a better chance to be higher than the flames pick from Vancouver because the Rangers are set to pick 13th overall right now.

The Canucks might want a completely different structure for their trade though.
