Friedman: Ducks are now preparing to trade Lindholm after failed talks

[bsu]

Who wants to face Lindholm Parayko ? That's scary...

That would be incredible.

 

[Blanick]

Lindholm has been the piece that I have wanted from the outset of the season. The rumored price is little too rich for my blood unless we are able to speak to his agent and find mutual interest on an extension here in St. Louis.

 

[paine]

Ducks fan.

One team will be very happy. Lindholm is a stud.

 

[Habs Halifax]

I would as well, I like Knies a lot....

I'm sure the Leafs do as well. Dubas is in a tough spot. Do nothing and he wastes another prime/core year. Do something and he guts his futures pool even more. Dammed if he does and Dammed if he don't

I think the Blues or Bruins will land Lindholm. Leafs will try to get Giordano for cheaper. My bet is the Bruins land Lindholm.

Well supposedly that is allowed… so as long as lindholm would resign in St. Louis that would be in the table

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

We’d see how much the leafs forward impact his offense. Leafs would be pretty stacked on the back end what would it look like
Rielly Brodie
Lindholm liljegren
Sandin muzzin?

More then Likely yes and Lyubushkin would rotate with muzzin and Liljegren.

 

[RationalExpectations]

I wonder if ANA is not going to get a small discount to Eastern Teams. My guess is they'd like to contend sooner than later, they have a good young core and I don't think even in 3 years you want Lindholm in your division.

 

[Leonardo87]

Agreed. I am really hoping for a stone return with a blue chip prospect going back.

Lindholm is that good. He has been skating with a 19 yo rookie who is starting to come along but is struggling like any rookie would. Put him with a compliment vet D , he is going to be amazing.

I am upset to lose him but have to look at the future. His age is an issue for the Ducks. The young core is so young and with so many good prospects yet to even set foot into the NHL, lindholm will be at the end of his prime when those guys mature.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

If Lindholm is willing to sign with the Blues I'm slamming my credit card down. Let's get it done.

 

[nbwingsfan]

Seems like the perfect fit for Boston if they can find a way to fit him long term

 

[WhatTheDuck]

1st + Lohrei + Steen
1st + Knies + 3rd
1st + Neighbors + 3rd

And then Anaheim can also take on a short term veteran D if necessary for cap and roster reasons - Holl, Scandella, maybe Forbort although the extra term is annoying.

 

[Eggtimer]

If he was a RHD I’d love my Devils to toss a huge offer on him. It woild be tricky though as contenders will want him now and try to extend him , while Devils would be pointless to pay the rental premium, but would have to hope he makes it to UFA (doubtful he doesn’t get extended if a team gives up a lot to get him now)

I’m sorry , I don’t know my players well enough. What team is the Lohrei + Steen offer ? Knies- Leafs , Jake - Blues but Lohrei?

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

I know people will roll their eyes at this but Des is not just a throw in. He is the only physical presence left on the Ducks.

I feel like his value to the Ducks is much higher then a team trading for him. I hope the Ducks extend him.

He's been in trade rumors though and is definitely a guy who contenders are going to look to add. Im not calling him a throw-in by any means, I think if you are getting 3 1st in value there needs to be more than just Lindholm and Des would be a good addition for the Blues 4th line

Are you basically saying nylander is worth gibson + extended lindholm ?

 

[Blanick]

Well supposedly that is allowed… so as long as lindholm would resign in St. Louis that would be in the table

In that case I would be comfortable paying that price. The way I look at the Blues right now is that we have 2-4 more seasons with our current core before we are going to have to look to rebuild around our next core (Thomas, Kyrou). Lindholm fits right in the age range with that main core. With an extension discussed I would happily deal

Bolduc/Neighbours
2022 1st
2023 3rd
Scandella (for cap reasons)
+ a sweetener for taking on Scandella and retention on Lindholm this year.

As a leaf fan its not enough. Replace Engvall with a 1st and Robertson.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Bruins Lohrei is very under the radar guy but might be a solid replacement player for lindholm

The only trash is Mrazek. Actually had a ducks fan tell me he would do it

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Bruins, he was an unknown they took in the 2nd round that has really worked out. Great physical tools and was about a point per game as a freshman D

Sounds basically perfect to me

Boston, he's their 2nd best prospect. Definitely a tier below the other 2 mentioned though

I think you're undervaluing Nylander
