Recalled/Assigned: Gustav Lindstrom Placed on Waivers (Claimed by Anaheim)

[Habs 4 Life]

A favor for a pre Zegras trade to come in the off season?

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

He's the very definition of a '' can give you league average third pairing minutes '' filler type. Not surprised somebody took him to have a warm body around. We have way too many young dmen who need to play to have any real use for a guy like that.

 

[Adam Michaels]

So now all that's left from the Petry to DET trade is the 2025 4th round pick and the 50% retention this year and next year.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

They lost Drysdale in the Gauthier trade, so are short a RD.

Figured he was going to get picked up after having a decent run with Montreal.

He fell to 4th on the waivers draft.

 

[Habssince89]

Welp one less roster piece jamming things up.

I'd be willing to bet Anaheim deals him at the trade deadline.

I think we just lost a late round draft pick. But such is life.

Hell no, Kovacevic is worth at least a draft pick!!

So would Lindstrom have been! Ducks just claimed a free late roun pick at the TDL, imo.

 

[BLONG7]

So be it...............good luck Lindstrom!!

Off to the California sunshine....

 

[MarkJ]

We'll miss ya Nicklas.

At most he gets a 7th, and we already have 3 of those this year. I expect they keep him to finish the season, and send a couple of their young players down.

He'll be back on waivers next training camp.

I think it's more like

Hoffman+Pitlick+Petry retention
in return of
2nd+3rd+4th+Pearson

We had to take Petry for the Karlsson trade to work and then we had to trade him. Pearsson is probably worth a 4th round pick if he is healthy. Nobody gives a flying **** about Hoffman and Pitlick. Getting a 2nd and a 3rd for retaining money on Petry's contract is good imo.

I think Hughes was holding out hope that he clears to help Laval who have many injuries rather than get a 7th.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Chances are if we shopped him long enough we could have gotten a late round pick but we already have so many that I'm sure just giving him an opportunity elsewhere or having him in Laval would be preferred.

I was talking about the Detroit trade specifically since it's the one Lindstrom came to Montreal in.

 

[HomaridII]

Oh No!! What are we going to do now!

 

[montreal]

I'm surprised he got picked but Habs now at 45 contracts.

Pearson had negative value going into the season, imo. And I don't think now that he'll actually get us much at the TDL.

Even worse, I don't like that Pearson took away playing time from Ylonen, RHP, and Heineman all season.

I think if Pearson is healthy a team will bite the bullet for a 4th or 5th. I mean Marc Bergevin gave a 4th (conditional 3rd in fact but the conditions were not met) for Dwight "can't skate anymore" King. There's still marc Bergevin in this league and Pearson is playing "the white way" to paraphrase Darren Pang.

We'll see. Every trade deadline is different. GM's get real excited about adding depth. I would have to think he could at least get a 6th or a 7th.

He seems like a good dude. But I can't wait until he's gone. I've been really bumed about Ylonen, Heineman, and RHP losing ice time to him.

I agree but can we take a moment to appreciate how Marc Bergevin gave a conditional 3rd for over the hill and down the swamp Dwight King. I always thought it was a 4th but just learned while searching that it was a actually a conditional 3rd if we won two rounds of playoffs. Overpayment would be the understatement of the year.

Different type of player, but Garth Snow gave a 3rd round pick for Dman Brandon Davidson.

 

[montreal]

I haven't seen much of Pearson but with his injury I wouldn't expect too much. I wonder what the Habs plan even is, since it's not like they need any more 3rd round or later picks since they already have 16 of them in the next 2 years and have made a ton of picks the past few drafts.

 

[vokiel]

Oh No!! What are we going to do now!

Sell the farm!!! Get Hanifin!

 

[KevSkillz4]

Enjoy the beach Gustav!

He will more enjoy the bench than the beach in my opinion!

 

[HomaridII]

Sell the farm!!! Get Hanifin!

Damn we could have traded Lindstrom and a 2nd for Hanifin! Maybe added Ryder!

Could always keep adding picks for future drafts and/or getting picks for the upcoming drafts and then flipping them for picks in drafts further in the future.
