[Rumour] Lindholm available

We could still LTIR Smid to eat more cap as well.

Are you kidding me? How long is Kesler going to live off a playoff series against the Predators way back in 2011? Some Flames fans are worried about the Gio contract being an anchor a couple of years from now, the Kesler contract already is a anchor for the Ducks.

You make room for these types of players.

Ok and I'm asking you how you make room for him. It's almost impossible to keep Fowler and Lindholm.

If you get rid of Kesler that Center position after Getzlaf instantly becomes the worst in the league.

I would love Lindholm over any Flames defenceman but I don't see how Anaheim can keep him. It's going to take a real tricky trade where the Ducks get worse for a few years just so they can make it work.

I'd do Sam Bennett + in a heart beat.

Another defenseman? Have to move one to make it happen. I suspect they have zero interest in Hamilton. Gio is too expensive.

But Brodie would get their attention wouldn't he?

Bieksa would have to be a flame as part of deal.

I'm not moving a cheaper better Brodie for a more expensive worse Lindholm.
