Another example of bad assumptions (no sweeter to take Smith), coupled with superficial analysis (all players are goals and assists and +-), to get crippling inadequate results.

			Here are the offer sheet compensation for RFAs next season. 
 
Because the Flames don't have their 2019 2nd, they would have to reacquire their 2nd from the Islanders to sign a player to an offersheet where a 2nd is required as compensation.

Kevin Costner would get it done, and get a backup goalie thrown in too.

When Toronto wanted to have the threat of an offer sheet to Kessel to force a trade, they need to re-aquire their 2nd round pick.  Chicago owned it, so forced Toronto give them, inter alia, Calgary's 2nd round pick, which they used to get Brandon Saad.

I have always like Hayes, even though I'm always sceptical about junior/college chemistry transforming into NHL chemistry (see Iggy/Hnat).

Fair to be skeptical but at least Hayes is proving to be a decent scorer in the NHL without Johnny. How did Hnat do without Iggy again?

Wonder if a Brodie/Bennett package would be enough for Lindholm/TVD or something along those lines?
 
Lindholm certainly fits the mold of what BT should be looking for. Decent sized RH C with lots of ceiling left.

			I'l take one Elias Lindholm please. And then we can all be happy with the 2013 NHL draft. 
 
EDIT: Get Lindholm and Nichushkin and we good.

			I would love to get Lindholm. I think he's still got a lot of room to grow. What would he cost though? He maybe hasn't lived up to his draft position, but he's not a reclamation project either.

			I don't know what you guys are seeing in Lindholm. I've watched him plenty since I watch the Panthers and don't see anything special in him. An ok player who hasn't taken that next step since he came into the league five years ago.  
 
 
 
I think Bennett, if he takes the next step (big IF I know), could very well be what Lindholm is right now. Rather gamble with him then pay for potential with Lindholm.

			Lindholm would be a nice addition age wise and is a right hand shot. I think he still has room to improve so depending the cost he would be a solid add. I have always liked Jeff Skinner but he has only a year left before he is a free agent.  
 
Peters will have a good handle on any Canes player so it wouldn’t shock me to see a deal there
