Popular Post Alflives Posted February 1 Popular Post Share Posted February 1 3 minutes ago, KoreanHockeyFan said: Brzustewicz is a blue chip top prospect. There's no question about it. But what matters is what is Brzustewicz's value to the Canucks? It's crazy, but we actually have an excess of offensive d-men. Hughes is going to anchor that role for the next decade. Willander is coming up too. No, HB is not a blue chipper. He’s a B level guy at best. Where does he fit in our future with Hronek and Willander? It’s very likely HB isn’t even an NHL player. 1 1 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemon Face Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 4 minutes ago, PureQuickness said: I think Monahan OBJECTIVELY would've been a better choice because of the cap space freed (3M is not nothing). We can add another defenseman if we had to and because we had cap space, we could've leveraged in a trade with a team that was in need of cap space. IMHO. But Lindholm is better player,hence more expensive. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barn Burner Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 3 minutes ago, Alflives said: Monnohands is 36 and is a serious puck sucker. Lindholm is 29 and a star.

Popular Post Ballisticsports Posted February 1 Popular Post Share Posted February 1 This team needed a lot of untangling to get competitive this quick (so pleasantly surprised that this was even possible) We have seen this management make good decisions and hopefully this is no different Seems like only one team (Canucks) making trades (another Gm of the year award coming to us) Calgary had to save face with their fanbase making another trade with us Calgary could have got more had they held on, but PA probably said take it or leave it, it's a fair deal and we aren't waiting till TDL to make a deal Vancouver in 1st place dealing from power not desperation Kuz probably will score lots in Calgary while on a losing team (like we had when he was scoring) But, he was never going to be trusted in the playoffs for us and just taking up space and cap for a player like Lindholm can provide for us Glad he is appreciative of our management and fans Best of luck to you Kuz 4 2 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Monahan would've been the better all-round trade for the Canucks to add a piece. He's not. PA and co have thought this through and Lindholm is a better fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jester13 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 9 minutes ago, Mike Vanderhoek said: A lot of Flames fans feel Conroy fleeced Allvin and the Canucks. Interesting take. Apparently Lindholm was a floater and they think they have a number one blue chip top prospect in Brzustewicz. Flames fans I know all say Lindy obviously didn't want to stay in Calgary, and they all know he's a very good addition for us. They're okay with this hockey trade and happy they're going to rebuild, at a little. Lindy is a huge addition to our team. Anyone thinking he's going to float on the #1 team in the NHL is out to lunch. He's also a family man now, which means we have a very good chance of re-signing him.

chaoticmonkey Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 (edited) Uhh elephant in the room is if we can re-sign him (to a reasonable contract). If we can re-sign him then he's worth the ransom we gave up, if we can't then this was a horrendous misuse of organizational assets.

This is a very good point. One of the area we still needed to improve on is the PK and this trade will really help in that department. Flames had a pretty good pk ranking. We're significantly better with this deal 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post NucksIn50 Posted February 1 Popular Post Share Posted February 1 11 minutes ago, fanofvan said: When was Lindholm in the cup finals? And he got decent Selke votes one year, his career year. Decent add at a huge cost, in my opinion. I would have rather paid less for a guy like Monahan and then added another piece with the extra $3m saved. Thank goodness you are not our GM then. Monahan does not move the needle for this team…. If this was the 2011 team where we had a legit top 6 already in place I could see Monahan type sliding into 3rd C but not a fit on this team. Miller/Petey/Lindholm/Suter/Blueger/ Aman as our centres is pretty much top 3 in league in terms of depth. This is a special season, I get we will always have the negative opinions on here but when you are 1st overall in the league as of today, our management team that has won Stanley Cups recognizes a teams needs. For this alone I trust in Allvin n Co 110% Enjoy the run because I’ve seen 3 Stanley Cup runs and this team is on the verge of doing something special because this organization is finally aligned top to bottom!

Alflives Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 3 minutes ago, Lemon Face said: But Lindholm is better player,hence more expensive. And it’s not even close. Old Alf just doesn’t understand why some fans think they know better than proven winners like JR and Allvin? Just look at the recent adds. Hronek is brilliant. Lindholm will be amazing too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
