Rumor: Lindholm Mega Thread: All Rumors/Proposals Go Here

Is Bob Murray handcuffed by ownership? The Ducks are flying close to the cap and I always thought they were an internal budget team. I'm sure there are some options Murray could exercise to clear enough cap to get the deal done, but is does he have full authority if those options end up costing the Ducks more money?

Larsson got Hall
Jones got Johansen
Lindholm is better defenseman then those so a forward coming our way better be better for us to consider it.
Lindholm is a good deal better then Vatanen. Between Lindholm and Fowler it has been back and forth.

In what word has Bob Murray ever dealt one of his best players to a divisional opponent, None that i can ever think of.
Hall had 42 points in his rookie season and johansen had 21. You also don't have the cap to take on players like that...

Overall, he hasn't been that much better than Fowler, who is brutally underrated. But he's had stretches of absolute dominance. If you go by advanced stats, Lindholm's borderline elite. If you go by the eye test, he's an exceptional young defender with elite potential.
Not really. But one would correctly think that he's right there with Ekblad as one of the very premier young defenders in the game, which holds enormous value.
He sure was on a different level last season. And "talent-wise" is a weird way to put it, given what the position is about.
I'm no Canucks fans, but from the Canucks perspective, that is an absolute boneheaded move.
Yeah that's pretty bad for Vancouver. Wouldn't mind seeing them make this move though.
Right....jumps in to bash an organizations signings but defends Kesler(also has massively overpaid older declining players Perry/Getzlaf)

Chris Johnston and Jeff Marek (Sportsnet) just said on TV (Hockey Central) that he talked to some NHL Executives around the league and also checked in with the Ducks and said the Ducks are NOT SHOPPING Lindholm. Said the signing isn't imminent and will probably be a couple more weeks but will get done
Well Murray better get a move on it. Each passing day increases the cap penalty which means more and more cap space will need to be cleared the longer this goes.
Lindholm + prospect/pick for Trouba + Dano
You guys get to talk to Trouba or his agent to work out a bridge before the trade (he's an RFA). You get to keep the Stanley Cup dream alive (or at least more alive then it would be Lindholmless). We'll sign Lindholm for the 6 mil.
Edit: You can even throw in Stoner if it helps.

Throwing Confetti for Perfetti
Any team is allowed to do this currently as he is free to sign with any team, however obviously Peg/any team with a RFA has ability to match..

Lindholm for Trouba makes absolutely zero sense for Anaheim, Considering that Lindholm is seeking around $6 million per long term and Trouba wants $5.5 million per long term. Just give Lindholm his money and end this situation once and for all.
I think it doesn't make "absolutely zero sense". If other teams don't want to trade their already signed "top young D" (as the rumour suggests is the ask from Anaheim) which could be a possibility, then it could make some sense to speak to the only other top young D in the league right now to work out some sort of bridge. It's hopeful on my front, but I wouldn't put the sense of it at "absolutely zero".
Anaheim doesn't have the cap to work out a long term with Lindholm? If I was the GM of the Ducks, I'd at least go ahead and talk to the only other top young D's agent in the league that I can talk to (RFA) and see if there is a possibility to work out a cheaper bridge. The team that has his rights is willing to give up a young middle six forward as well? What's to lose. We get to chase Lord Stanley for a few more years at least, no harm no foul.
It's hopeful on the Jets' front, but I think it does make at least a lick of sense.

I said all the players were worth it now, and all the players won't be in the future, and that both organizations made bad choices out of desperation. Reread it again, then apologize.
There is a world of difference between Shea Weber and Lindholm! Seriously? Lindhom is not Weber, nor at his level of value, yet. As someone was arguing about Sergachev, the potential is there for Lindholm to get to Weber's level, but it has not been achieved at this time. Not all "#1" defencemen hold the same value. Larsson is the #1 defence man in Edmonton, is he worth the same amount as Lindholm? Would you trade Lindholm for Larsson straight across? Of course not.

the source of this rumor has never proven to be credible, but not surprised to see it light hf on fire.
ducks are not going to trade lindholm for lowball offers, they have tried forever to develop a franchise dman and it has been high priority ever since niedermayer and pronger left. so if you think you are going to get him cheap, try again.

I believe the only source reporting has said that Trouba simply refused to talk contract with the Jets. No one knows what he would sign for from other teams or how much money he wants.
Problem is that with the Ducks' cap situation they probably couldn't afford either of them. I think there's a chance the Trouba could be convinced to take a bridge deal just so he can get back into the NHL this year and play for a team that suits him. If not, the Jets could take a cap dump like Stoner to allow the Ducks to sign Trouba without having to trade a key player like Fowler.
In the end, it really depends on how much Murray thinks of Trouba. If he's one of the GMs that really likes him, it's not far-fetched to think that the Jets could put together a rich enough package to get Lindholm. If Murray isn't that keen on Trouba, it's a moot point. At this point, none of us know what Murray thinks of Trouba.
