EL-LEE-US vs EL-LIE-US

 

Which pronunciation wins?

 

Use both.  EP gets one pronunciation (he was on record he preferred the Anglophone version of Pettersson), and Lindholm gets the other one.  

 

Gets complicated once D EP joins the team.

Yes, Lindholm is the opposite to the hot head Miller that makes mistakes due to emotions.

Lindholms coolness suit Petey as a glove.

 

But who is the natural third piece of both Miller/ Boeser and Petey/Lindholm.

Lekkerimäki is the best answer but after him… Podz, Hogz…

Lindholm simply completes our fwd group; he is not a rental IMO unless he asks for ridiculous term OR $. With the teams chemistry, quality of team, and the fact that RT is a players coach, I could see him being very happy here. 

 

As you mentioned, our one hole is that big ver winger to play on 3rd/4th line. Maroon or Perry type. A move like that is not all that tough nor expensive; this was the biggy.

Signing Lindholm, and EP, we just need to trade either Garland or Mikheyev.    Then we are sorted and can make the cap work.   We need buy in from the players too.   That this is the team, it's where to be.

I don’t know where Friedman gets his information but why the fk would we trade Zadorov. Dump Myers FFS.

Allvin likely knows what Zads is looking to sign for, and it's probably much more than we want to offer. If true, he'd be good to move now and grab Tanev. It would balance out our back end nicely.

Would much rather keep Zad. Sure, he's a lefty and is somewhat prone to bone headed moves, but he provides an element to the roster that this team desperately needed. He's the toughest SOB this team has had in ages, and a giant to boot.

 

With Myers, Soucy, Cole, Juulsen all monsters on the back end, Zad's size isn't as needed as we think. He also hasnt shown much of what we expected to get from him. We've seen glimpses. Would I like to keep him and re-sign him? Yes, but only at the right price, and he may be asking for too much.

Love Lindholm!

 

Looks like a steep price but it's a long list of players that have not proven to be the value of Lindholm.

 

It's a trade we will likely talk about for years. Moving Kuzy made sense, it just wasn't going to work under Tocc. After that it's all waiting on futures to make it or not.

Last year the Canucks biggest hole in the line up was not having a #1 RD . 
Hronek adressed that hole but in order to fill that hole we had to give up our #2 centre. All the same the team is better with Hronek than Horvat. 
now we have replaced our 2nd line centre but have created another small hole on wing. Canucks adding a 2nd line winger is next. Followed by a depth defenceman . 
might as well go all in while they can afford it before Pettersson is making Nylander money,  Hronek gets resigned and the OEL buyout increases and changes how much depth the team can afford.

lol.  Don't need to do that.   Compare two players on the team.    That "hot head" plays a power game, and you're not going to win a cup with pure skill ever in this league.   EP falling down all over the place also costs the team at times; also think it's at times deliberate to draw a penalty which is smart.   Love that about him.  

 

The Lotto Line has its moments, but agree they should be on different lines.

Now just imagine if we can resign him!

 

I had the joy of watching him at ice level when he centered Gaudreau and Tkachuk. He was what truly made the line work with his defensive play and puck distribution.

JR's philosophy is pairs.   Two high end players and a filler.    The wings are fine.  

 

Our D is fine too.   Even with Soucy out. 

 

The only thing we lack now, is some deterrent in the forward group, that can energize and protect, and play the game.   Barring injury.   Maybe a third string goalie.

Smart way to build the forward group.  Lowers the average cost per line.

this just brings so many good options. I can imagine sometimes we'll see Petey with Lindholm 5 on 5. That could be such a scary option for us. 

 

Lindholm-Petey-Mik

Suter-Miller-Brock

These Zadorov rumors are so odd. No reason to trade him

It's also the reality of the league post cap.   The days of having up to 9 guys who can fill the net on one team are gone.
