Not sure Giroux would want to leave OTT but if he did he would be a huge add for this team. I doubt Giroux leaves, he's a bit unique in that he's always wanted to be a Senator After the Panthers acquired him he could have definitely caught on with more competitive teams, he chose to go home https://theathletic.com/3420245/2022/07/13/senators-claude-giroux-signing-free-agency-nhl/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWJC Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 My expectation is that if we trade for Guentzel he is who mgmt will focus on extending Lindholm will walk or be dealt prior to UFA for a late round pick. Guentzel is a known quantity to mgmt and RT and will balance out the top 6 scoring more so than Lindholm’s value against his speculated salary expectation. Lindholm would make a great 3C but just too much $$ to invest in that role. That said, if mgmt does pull the trigger and this team falls short in the playoffs, we still have reinforced for next season and can better divide remaining cap around the D corps and bottom 6 F.

Based on his play over his 14 games as a Canuck I’m not sure why they would extend him….the team needed a top 6 forward, not a 3rd line centre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time when you interject, try to add something substantive. All you have is a "you made a mistake". We all have and we all do, Grow up. I’ve been called out lots on errors, I def don’t play victim… and crying about it doesn’t change the fact you were WRONG suck it up princess your insecurities are showing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Long Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Rutherford is a sneaky old fart. I wonder if he's running up the price of someone like Guentzel, and his real target is someone we haven't considered at all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No 6D chess, we’re talking 16F chess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) 8 minutes ago, Pears said: Bruins have almost no cap space and would have to ship cap out to bring cap in, gotta wonder how that'd work for them, I can see how Lindholm would appeal to them though Pens would likely have to take Zacha or Debrusk, but I suppose they could try and flip Debrusk giving he's a pending UFA as well Pittsburgh has 4.5M in space Edited March 5 by Coconuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 14 minutes ago, Jaimito said: crazy to flip Lindy. But this management isn't afraid to adjust and admit errors/misses. I guess the thinking behind the Lindholm deal was they didn't believe they could resign Pettersson, and needed a legit 2C... when Pettersson signed, Lindholm was no longer a need. Absolutely bananas though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond dumb. His stat line on the Canucks is worse than it was on the Flames. These are high performing athletes and it should not take 14 games, nearly 20% of the season, to adjust to a new system. If anything Lindholm has looked worse recently, which should not be the case as there should now be a degree of comfort with the new team and knowledge of coaches systems (0 points, -5 in his last 8 games). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
