cd1377 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Personally I'd do this if they resign guentzel. Lindholm hasn't been a great fit and I think they can resign guentzel now that Petey has resigned. Trade would essentially be (maybe) Kuzmenko 1st Hunter B. Jurmo 4th Podkolzin Bains For guentzel Won't speculate on what bruins give up but this is what I think the Canucks end up giving up which is what's relevant to us. Seems like a lot, but ultimately jurmo, and the 4th aren't much to me, and won't make a difference probably in our contention window. Kuzmenko was struggling and we cleared 5.5 million and upgrade him to guentzel. We give up hunter B and a first + podkolzin and bains, but in the end we keep hoglander, willander, lekkermaki, and still have raty on the ahl + d Petey. Few of these players except bains and podkolzin would give much impact during our cup window which is opening but guentzel could be a huge difference maker especially given his playoff stats. We would still have enough assets and young players to improve from within (aforementioned hoglander, willander, lekkermaki, raty, d-petey) who are all more likely to contribute over the next few year during our window on good contracts then what we gave up would be, still have our first round pick next year, and we get guentzel to solidify the core for the future years. Gotta give to get and I'd be okay with it. High cost, but it would pay dividends I think and we still have a future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd1377 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Also to those speculating this is made up, I was thinking of flipping Lindholm for guentzel so the thought had occured to me at least. Not to mention the connection with Pittsburgh, the fact we clearly want guentzel, and that bruins have wanted Lindholm + multiple people reporting this makes me think it's obviously a true rumour whether it comes to fruition or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will get more prospects. I love pods but Guentzel will give us some real shots at cup wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Johnston doesn't usually post bunk. He apparently has a pretty good rep (I believe anyway). That’s the strongest reason right now why this speculation has any legs at all, imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanOriginal Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 As a lot have said, not interested in moving Podz or Hogz along with Lekk. I'd rather the team had made that trade with the Caps for Mantha at 50% than moving Lindholm plus any of the mentioned players. I'm afraid now though that Vegas got Mantha that most likely means they are out on Guentzel and the Nucks are the favs to land him. I really hope I don't like what we are moving out. If it's Raty I could accept that but any of the other four.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Hronek Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Here's what I'm thinking: -IF the Canucks are willing to trade for Guentzel, and -IF the Canucks fully intend to have BOTH Guentzel and Boeser here for the long term (i.e. signing Guentzel right away + signing Boeser when his deal expires) -Then using Lekkerimaki as a trading chip would make sense. -Personally speaking? I think trading for Guentzel has too much risk associated with it since he's a UFA at season's end, and we've already given up a number of assets. -All we (the media) are doing with these constant trade rumours is making our current players feel nervous and unwelcome. -Lindholm is excellent at Face-offs and is one of the best defensive players in the league and we want to move on from this guy? Really? How about actually using him in the correct manner? I still say it even now - Mikheyev-Lindholm-Suter as a line would be one of the best shut down lines in all of hockey. Get this line to take on tough defensive assignments and free up more offensive deployment for the Lotto Line and Bluegar/Garland line (when Joshua comes back). Hoglander continues to dominate on the 4th line. If someone from the Lotto line gets injured, Lindholm moves to the top line + Hoglander moves up to the Bluegar/Garland line.

For me personally? I don't trade for Guentzel and I walk from Lindholm at the end of the season (Lindholm being our version of 2020 Toffoli). Walk from Myers and Cole, + sign all of Bluegar, Hronek, Joshua, DeSmith, etc. to long term extensions. Preserve our newly built depth on the farm and look for ways to slowly bring in Hirose, Podkolzin, Lekkerimaki, and Raty into our line-up. Willander as well.

I agree with everything that you just said. My Lindholm argument (ie put Mikheyev-Lindholm-Suter together) is for this season and this season alone. After this season, I think we should move on from Lindholm regardless (he basically becomes our 2020 Toffoli). Also, under my above scenario, I’d reunite the Lotto line while putting Podkolzin with Bluegar/Garland until Joshua returns. At the end of season, move on from Lindholm, Myers, and Cole. Sign Hronek, Bluegar, Joshua, and DeSmith to long term deals (I’m not sure if Silovs is ready). Find a pathway to elevate Podkolzin, Raty, and Hirose into the line-up next season if they are ready. Ditto for Lekkerimaki. I don’t like the idea of trading for Guentzel and I don’t like the idea of extending Lindholm. For this season and this season alone, make Mikheyev-Lindholm-Suter a shut down line, and let the Lotto line and Bluegar/Garland be responsible for our secondary scoring. Let Hoglander continue to chip in goals from the 4th line. Edited March 6 by Jeremy Hronek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t label her as unattractive however. She’s more Brock Boeser calibre as opposed to a Connor McDavid or Nathan Mackinnon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
