fanofvan Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 6 minutes ago, KoreanHockeyFan said: Disagree. The price would have been astronomical if we were trying to trade for Lindholm during one of his point-per-game seasons. We need a right-handed centreman, and someone other than Miller to take faceoffs. He's top 5 in faceoffs in the league and has a scoring pedigree. Monahan is none of those things. Did the NYI pay an astronomical price for Horvat who was over a PPG at the time? Seems like they paid less than the Canucks did for Lindholm. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureQuickness Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 1 minute ago, fanofvan said: Wildly? Monahan has 514pts in 730games (0.70ppg) and Lindholm has 545pts in 792games (0.69ppg). It's not. People obviously don't know Monahan. The Faceoff percentage between the two this year is 55.5 (Lindholm) and 55.0 (Monahan). The two are very comparable to each other. Even the fact that they were picked practically next to each other in the SAME draft is interesting. The only drawback with Monahan is the injury concern.

Rypien-Punch Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 i think Boston and NYR would have loved to get Lindholm. Im impressed we pulled it off. So for Canucks aquisitions have been surgical. They identify a very specific need and then get it. In 2011 we had Sedin and Sedin on the same line. Now we might see an Elias to Elias line. Lindholm is a veteran pro who does all the little stuff right. He might not be the fighter we were looking for but he will create more offense and cause less turnovers than we previously had. Kusmenko had his moments but is not as consistent as Lindholm. At the end of the day the Canucks a clearly a better team moving into the playoffs. Lindholm will be reunited with big Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCupSyndrome Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 1 minute ago, PureQuickness said: Erm, yes, this is true, but the difference between the two this year in faceoffs, 55.5 vs 55.0... Dunno. I'm sure Lindholm will be a good pickup. I just have to wonder if Monahan would've been better for the team in the long run. Quantity is important, Lindholm has taken 408 more faceoffs and won 260 more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monahans value is not equal to Lindholms. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canucks paid a very heavy price for this player. I'd really like to know what was on the table with Monahan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanofvan Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 4 minutes ago, Alflives said: Seriously? Monnohands is 36 and not anywhere close to the level of player as Lindholm. That’s like suggesting Horfat Wallet is as good as JT Miller. These are players that just aren’t comparable. Are you high? Monahan is 29...the same age as Lindholm. He was picked one spot after Lindholm in the same draft year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Alflives Posted February 1 Popular Post Share Posted February 1 3 minutes ago, tas said: wildly different calibre of player. I’m thinking some of our young fans are upset because they love Kuzzy. It’s like with Bo last year. Young fans love certain players and don’t understand which guys are actually better. So I get why some fans struggle accepting trades, even ones where we get a lot better players back. Clearly, we are a way better club getting Hronek for Bo and getting Lindholm for Kuzzy. But young fans loved those other two. Heck, old Alf loved (still loves and always will) Kuz Missile. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't rock the boat on a team that is already the best or next to the best team in the League If you want a good 2nd line you have to find a high quality winger. If Petey can’t get a 2nd line going neither is Lindholm. We lack cap for that sort of move. Better bet to have Lindholm with Petey and the top 6 has a solid duo on each line. 1 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you'd like to debate that Kuzmenko, Jurmo and a conditional 4th have considerable positive value? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barn Burner Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 11 minutes ago, Sharpshooter said: What did the team really give up though? An underperforming forward, a very late 1st pick and a couple of prospects that are behind the batch that are ultimately better to crack the roster. What’s the issue? I was originally pissed off we gave up more than Kuzmenko and a 1st for a UFA. Plus, I didn't like the idea of losing Hunter. I'll get over it.

Mike Vanderhoek Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 5 minutes ago, KoreanHockeyFan said: Hoglander, Podkolzin, Lekkerimaki, Willander, Bains are all still on the team. You can bet your asses Conroy was licking his chops for one of these guys and Allvin managed to get away with trading Brzustewicz - that's a huge win. 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.

Kuzmenko is better than Beauvillier, Raty / Hunter are basically a wash, but the 1st rounder we got was way more valuable than the one we're trading today. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
