wen forehead?

[Aarongavey]

Vancouver would have to add I would think.

[Bonded]

Will be interesting to see what Lindholm gets from Boston. Quickest re-trade ever?

[Blaster86]

One of Boston or Vancouver is adding a lot or they're both adding a little to Pitts. Debrusk is a cap hit to make this work for Boston.


Boston needs a center
Vancouver needs a winger.

Was pondering this idea yesterday while drivin around. DeBrusk the one to be disappointed.

[Heavy Jack]

Ehh, he gets to play with Crosby for a few months, that’s pretty sweet

[Jetfire]

Who called this exact trade in the speculation thread earlier today? Impressive if it comes to fruition.

[Bonded]

How much does CP blow up if Lysenko goes to the Penguins

[OldSam]

Even Weekes says "potential trade scenario" so I will wait for SureLoss. He is the only one I trust
.

[Braden]

Would be funny if Lindholm gets traded again and Vancouver still makes WCF we get that 3rd lol

I'm sure he'd rather have a playoff run at a cup.

[Blaster86]

So apparently Guentzel is down to Canucks or Canes. Both Canucks and Canes want Guentzel re-signed if they trade for him. Canes are not a team that will usually go all in on UFA rentals and are apparently trying to decide if they want to make the move knowing he may be a rental. Canucks are fine making the deal either way


This deal is apparently at the desk and waiting for Carolina to make a decision, but Boston and Vancouver are ready to go. Debrusk + to Penguins for Guentzel. Guentzel to Vancouver for Lindholm.

Probably his only chance, if he ends up in Columbus next year.

[GreenLantern2814]

Lindholm in Boston was always the ideal fit for me.

Yep, Bergeron lite.

[cannon7]

Question is does Lindholm make it to the trade deadline with Boston? Half lives being what they are...

[bluejays]

Out of those three in a good year Lindholm is a 8/10, Guentzel 7, and DeBrusk 6. I see why Boston would want a crack at Lindholm if he resigns at a reasonable term and dollar. I see why Vancouver wants to make a quick move from Lindholm as he hasn't worked out in a short period of time and take on Guentzel. But I don't understand Pittsburgh seeing this as the best return in getting DeBrusk. They needed quantity and quality. This is the best they can do? Anyway, at this stage I think Guentzel is a flavour of the month like a lot of guys tend to be every year. I truly believe he's a guy Crosby made and when is all said and done you'll see a steep decline from him. Lindholm we'll see next year. This year seems to be a conditioning writeoff for him. DeBrusk the Pens should simply flip.

In a way I hate to see Lindholm sorta rewarded with for (a) making unrealistic demands here; (b) losing his GAF level after his demands weren’t met and his buddies were gone; (c) pooping the bed in Vancouver who paid through the nose for him.

Was with you until that last one.
