Captain insano Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Same people saying we over paid for Lindholm are praising Edmonton for giving up a first and other pick for a 3c in his mid 30s and a 4th liner 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 1 minute ago, stawns said: If there's any truth to Van open to moving Lindy, it certainly ups his value. The only issue is, it leaves a hole in Vans lineup What Suter and Blueger are solid bottom six centres. I would say we need two wingers more than having Lindholm slotted in as a 3rd line centre. If a Lindholm for Guentzel swap can happen and end up with us having Guentzel at 50% retained we could have extra cap space plus be much better for a run. When healthy: Guentzel-Petterson-Greenway Hoglander-Miller-Boeser Joshua-Blueger-Garland Mikheyev-Suter-Lafferty PDG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only issue is, it leaves a hole in Vans lineup I think that report was baseless. He provides so much more defensively than Monahan/Henrique, and didn't cost much more. And if there were an injury to either Miller or Pettersson, we'd be hooped without Lindholm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Vanderhoek Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 19 minutes ago, D-Money said: Neither of these guys are that great. Carrick wouldn't crack our line-up right now, and Henrique would be our 4th best C by a fair margin. Still, Henrique is an improvement for the Oilers at 3C. Wouldn't be scared about it though. agreed, I do however think he is the right kind of addition for the Oilers at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's made them a very stingy, defensively sound team. So adding Henrique as an additional option who can move up and down the lineup is something I'm sure they'll exploit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When healthy: Guentzel-Petterson-Greenway Hoglander-Miller-Boeser Joshua-Blueger-Garland Mikheyev-Suter-Lafferty PDG Offensively this line up would probably do quite well. I still don't see us moving Lindholm unless it's a big overpayment as he adds so much to our team defensively. Having a right handed C who can win draws and is really good defensively with offensively ability (albeit lacking right now) is really going to be important in the playoffs.

You do know our record before Lindholm was much better than after we got him right? We managed just fine with faceoffs for the season. Miller - 55.5% FOW Blueger - 52.7% FOW Petterson - 49.9% FOW Those are solid numbers, and even if they weren't.... face off wins have virtually no correlation to winning in the NHL. You know what correlates really strongly to wins?
