My speculation would be that Lindholm was not willing to sign an extension with the Jets and he didn't want to pay that much for a mere rental. Also, Lindholm has been having a bit of an underwhelming season hasn't he (although so has the rest of Calgary).
Good, beat the crap out of each other and we will play the winner.
Lindholm might not have wanted to play here either. I will go out on limb and say Chevy makes a better trade, especially if we go by the Dubois trade.
It's interesting to me that the Canes basically outright say they aren't ever going to be big buyers at the deadline. The Jets should follow suit (and mostly have since the Hayes trade). In what other business does everyone lose their brains and buy stock at the same time every year when prices are at their highest and values at their lowest? I can't remember the last time a team won a Cup after giving up tons of assets at a trade deadline. Any larger scale moves shake up the core of a team and deplete future assets. In most circumstances, count me out of that.
If Hayes knocks that puck in the net instead of out we are probably talking about what a genius move Chevy made...
Mostly agree but Stastny was a great trade deadline trade, don't think we get to the Western Conference Final without that trade. That's what I'm hoping Chevy can do again, get a very good second line center but mostly with draft picks and not some of our best prospects coming up soon.
I suppose that depends on how you define "tons of assets." Here are the last two champs' deadline moves.
Good, beat the crap out of each other and we will play the winner.
Seems unlikely. Jets would have to drop significantly to even play one of them.Unless one of them has already knocked us out in the first round.
I also just recently had a hip replacement. I was walking without the cane by day 4 and back on the stationary bike on day 8. I was back on the ice doing light skating by myself at three months, and back into the lineup at four and a half months, albeit very slow and tentative, but I couldn't stand the waiting any longer. Quinn back on the bench after 11-days is very believable from my perspective, back on the ice though, that part might be optimistic as you say.
After seeing Lindholm play live last week at the Saddledome, neither was I.
Calgary thought they were so close a few years ago but keeping Johnny Hockey and not getting any assets for him looks like it had a spiraling effect on them, they really didn't need Kadri and were forced to trade Tkachuk. Looks now that they are going to trade Tanev and Hanifin after trading Zadorov and now Lindholm. Major reset coming in Calgary.
I wonder if there's any connection between Calgary's strange player movements in the past couple of years and the political wrangling over a new arena.
I'll I know is that the Saddledome is a shithole and the in-game experience can only be described as "trailer park techno"
Well, they have been crying for most of a decade about the need to replace the arena. Or rather, the need for the city to buy them a new billion dollar palace.
Well they have a 1.2 B place in the works, I don't know if they have broken ground but I can guarantee you when it's all said and done it will cost way more than what they budgeted for, way more.
My guess there was interest, just not interest at the price.
alberta politics are hilarious. they're actually trying to be the Florida of Canada! on purpose!! thank God i don't live there anymore lol
