Speculation: Gabriel Landeskog for Hampus Lindholm

[Willy Stylez]

Avs shouldnt trade their captain and Ducks shouldnt trade Lindholm. This don't make sense.

 

[AvsGuy]

If Larsson got Hall, Lindholm would get a huge return . Lindholm is much better than Larsson and Landeskog is not as good as Hall.

Thaaaaat's not really how that works, but then again I'm not all that familiar with Lindholm. Bear in mind that Erik Johnson had #1 written all over him when we acquired him as well - I feel like Landeskog is at least a known quantity and a good one.

1 of the top young dmen in the league who is already performing at high levels should check him out.

Landeskog > Hall

Regardless, Why would AVS trade their Captain?

Landeskog is not better than Hall.

Hall could return Lindholm 1 for 1 had the Oilers been interested in trading Hall to a team in the West and had the Ducks been interested in trading Lindholm.

Landeskog could not bring back Lindholm 1 for 1. There would have to be an add on the Avs part.

Larsson is a RD, Lindholm a LD.

Handedness in defencemen means a lot, when it comes to value.

There are so few top-4 young defencemen that are playing RD.

 

[Blitzago*]

Anaheim hang's up as soon as you mention Lindholm, and if they stay on long enough to hear landeskog, they hang up laughing.

That's not true at all, if anything there are far more young top 4 RHD coming through than ever before.

And it doesn't matter if Larsson is a RD, Lindholm has played on the right before and he is so much better than Larsson that a team wouldn't worry that much about handedness.

lol great in-depth info, thanks. I'm familiar enough with him to know his reputation, what I'm wondering is why he has it. His stats aren't mind-blowing, what does he excel at?

I can't wait for the next decent d-man to be traded so everyone can stop using the Hall-Larsson deal as the new benchmark. Edmonton knew they were overpaying and their hands were tied because they needed a massive shakeup. That trade does not in any way signify the new market value for d-men so I wish people would stop using it as so.

If Anaheim was willing to trade Lindholm for a W they would already have Taylor Hall.

The question is how much did they overpay? I'm not sold on it being as much as people seem to think. The market for D has been thin for a few years, and the word is that everyone is looking to buy and no one is looking to sell.

Sorry, no GM would choose Hall over Landeskog. Perhaps you all should stop seeing the Hall trade as a loss for EDM and just a sign of what his actual value is. A complimentary winger who isnt an integral piece of a winning team.

Jones who had yet to establish himself as anything more than a second pairing player at the point he was traded got a proven 1st line centre in Ryan Johansen. Lindholm is only a year older and is much better than Jones was when he was traded (and still is the better player).

No GM wouldn’t choose Hall over Landeskog, and that’s coming from someone who thinks Hall is overrated.

well i guess we disagree ...


for the life of me, i cant see what Hall brings to the ice that would be more valued than the attributes Landeskog brings.


Landeskog > Hall AINEC actually ... anyhow, lets continue to derail the thread!

If only Bieksa would waive his NMC before the expansion draft, Anaheim wouldn't end up losing any of their defensemen via trade or expansion.

Anaheim has good depth on defense, with some younger defensemen coming up soon.
It's inevitable that Anaheim is going to trade a defensemen before the expansion draft, but I don't think they should trade their best defensemen (Hampus Lindholm).

 

[Siludin]

thw just tossing crao against the wall

roy gone---no trades

Gotta agree with this post. They'll hire the next coach and gun into December before they move anyone.

 

[Lord Moriarty007]

Both teams shouldn't even think about this rumor. Both players are very important to each team and should not be traded.

Sounds a lot like a lower-key Doughty or Keith - is his ceiling that high though?

 

[Paul4587]

If only Bieksa would waive his NMC before the expansion draft, Anaheim wouldn't end up losing any of their defensemen via trade or expansion.

Even if he does we still have Lindholm, Vatanen, Fowler, Manson and Despres to protect. One of those guys (likely Despres as Fowler will be moved, Bieksa will be bought out and Manson will be protected) is going to be playing for Las Vegas in 2017.

No way Landeskog gets Lindholm. It would take MacKinnon and even then I might prefer Lindholm. MacKinnon has more value, but not to my team.

As an Oiler fan I disagree . I always prefer Landeskog game over Hall's . Yeah Hall may put on more points but Landerskog is better every where else and those little things win hockey games . remember if Hall isn't scoring he is not much of a help . Landerskog can help with his physical play as well as his 2 way game . Might be just me but I feel a cup contender would do better with Landerskog over Hall

Not to mention that Larsson is signed to a steal of a contract for the next 5 years but people tend to forget that part when valuing that trade. Not saying that Larsson has more value than Lindholm of course.

In any event, Lindholm has quite a bit more value than Landeskog IMO even with the unknown contract. Colorado does this trade in an instant, Lindholm is pretty much the perfect fit for Colorado, #1 LHD.
