You think anyone will care about him if he has 6 goals and 6 assists at this point?

Well, 6 goals is what his career shooting % says he would have for goals in a normal year.

$100 donation to CP next year. I'll pay if Hoglander's GF% at 5v5 stays above 55%, you pay if it drops below.

Surely you think his 64% is legit right? He will keep that up.

Oiler and Canucks fans fighting, and the benefit is to Flames fans? Is it my birthday?

Doesn't mean he is not available. Teams are very cautious of acquiring injured players though.

I guess these people didn’t watch Lindholm in the last year

If Conroy was offered any of these and didn’t accept yet, there is something wrong with him

This is the type of value that should be expected, Lindholm is easily the hottest commodity going this deadline. People need to stop having this mindset that everything will always turn up dog#### for the Flames.

But it will!!!

Unless it was a Hossa or Datsyuk type cap dump I don't recall a trade ever involving a player who got injured and was put for the rest of a season. Sure it's possible, but the probability of it happening sky rockets to impossible.

[topfiverecords]

NY would like in on this.

[Blaster86]

Now that the poll is up.


Voted for everything but Vegas and Winnipeg.

[ResAlien]

Voted for everything. I don’t give a toss what the return is just don’t walk the damn guy to UFA.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Colorado, Vancouver, Winnipeg. We need to keep Lindy in the west so he can help beat Edmonton. I would’ve voted Vegas but their package sucks.

[gvitaly]

I misread the polepoll, I just chose one, I would probably accept all of the above.

Went with COL, with BOS being the close 2nd, the 1st being in 2025 was the deciding factor.

I'm more on the side of people who are actually paid to scout/coach/manage the 32 NHL teams having more understanding and insight into what Lindholm brings to a team than the average poster on CP.

I'll never understand how a fanbase can be so high on Backlund while simultaneously crapping on Lindholm. Lindy is literally a substantially better (in all areas) Backlund, and has also been cheaper than Backlund for the entire time we've had him.

[FanIn80]

I voted for the Dallas offer. It's the only one I would want to accept... although Colorado or Vancouver are the only teams I would actually want him to go to.

[FlamesAreOne]

Kuzmenko scored 39 goals and 35 assists last year, and people don't have Van as 1 A/B?

Dang.

[YYC in LAX]

People loving the Colorado one. Tell me about Calum Ritchie? O'Connor, the local kid is just a salary cap component throw in IMO.

He has scored 20 goals every season here, 19 in the covid season.

This is his worst season, and he clearly is playing uninspired hockey most likely due to not getting his contract he wanted.

Most team probably know they are getting a guy who can play with high end players, he won't carry a line but he can produce. He can win faceoffs, he can play both PP and PK. He can switch to the wing. He is healthy and reliable. He has missed 4 games for us. I think 2 of them when his wife had a baby.

He may have cost himself money in free agency, but for a team desperate to win a cup this year he brings a lot of value and will return a good haul for us.

Dang.

On a team that finished with 83 points in 82 games and a -22 goal differential, Kuzmenko put up 74 points and was +9.

On a team that has 71 points in 49 games and a +59 goal differential, Kuzmenko has 21 points and is -1.

[Bonded]

The only I don’t like is the Vegas one but if it was a 1st instead of a second then it would be in line with my expectations

He's been absolutely awful this year. He was never going to maintain that shooting percentage, but also his confidence has just been buried this year.

I'm a big believer in Kuzmenko. I think he will score a lot of goals in the NHL. I don't think it'll be with Rick Tocchet as his head coach.
