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

[Gardner McKay]

Here we go again


IDK, Brady Skjei and JT Miller for Lindholm?

Yeah. Thats ball park for Trouba. Lindholm is better. Frankly, outside of McDonagh we don't have anything on D that could even potentially fit the bill.

We could put some packages together for Anaheims other defensemen but short of a deal around McDonagh and Lindholm I can't see anything between these two teams happening. I doubt that would even help Anaheims cap situation much...

Unless it was like Skjei + Buchnevich +++ and still I don't know if that would work.

Oh, so internet fans are now representing the Ducks franchise?

Come mid-November, the contract demands of these RFAs will be coming down.

If Trouba is highly motivated to leave Winnipeg, he might be willing to give you a sweetheart contract. You cannot overlook the value of a good contract since that gives you more room to upgrade elsewhere.

Can a Lindholm/Trouba be main pieces of a trade with suitable extras? Yep. It would solve both franchise dilemnas. That said, I think the Ducks will eventually close the salary gap with Lindholm.

Bob McKenzie said the same thing.

But this was a couple weeks ago.

Maybe the Ducks have changed their tune regarding dealing Lindholm and bringing back Trouba + (make no mistake, the Jets would be adding to their Trouba package).

How much they would have to add, I have no idea.

Something around Travis Hamonic for Lindholm?

Get real, Lindholm's value is far great then Hamonic. Lindholm is seeking about $2.5 million more then what Hamonic is currently making. How does Snow fit that under the cap.

How about some of the youngest high drafted players on ELC? Hanifin, Provorov, Werenski etc?

I'd rather have Werenski. I'd trade Savard or Murray, but Anaheim wouldn't be interested.

Sure Winnipeg gets Lindholm for 7 years or so, And Trouba after the bridge deal walks as a UFA how does this make any sense for Anaheim giving up the better D man in the deal. Don't see a Lindholm for Trouba deal going down Bob Murray can get better offer for Lindholm then Trouba.

2 year bridge, then Anaheim can re-sign long-term (they'd still have 2 years of control after that contract). Helps them compete for next 2 years if Trouba is willing to play ball to facilitate a trade. And you conveniently ignore the value of Dano and cap dump.

What is your deal? I've watched you dominate any discussion of Trouba for months now.

I'm curious, is the term "something around" invisible in my post?

I understand Lindholm's value is higher than Hamonic's, the Islanders would be adding another cost controlled piece or two.

"Get real"

Because I'm such a notorious homer who constantly posts lopsided proposals.

Ekholm + Fiala for Lindholm.

What makes you think that Trouba would commit long term with Anaheim, When all indications are that he wants to play closer to home near Detroit. More or less in the Eastern US don't see Trouba wanting to play that far West but we shall see.

I'm not too concerned what pundits are saying in what will be a very fluid situation over the next month.

It is in the realm of possibilities. Agreed, it is a Trouba+. I still think Ducks eventually resign Lindholm.

 

[WesMcCauley]

His ELC is over after next season.

ye my bad, looked at the wrong player

Oh, sorry. I missed that report. Is there a source on that? Isn't it weird that he lives in Florida in the offseason? I didn't think that was near Detroit either...

The suggestion is that Trouba signs a bridge so the Ducks can manage their salary cap short term and compete, and have a long-term solution later. This is directly a result of the Ducks salary cap situation. If they can sign Lindholm/Trouba long-term right now, I am sure that is their preference but they'll have to reshuffle their roster fast in order to do that.

 

[Crocoduck]

That'd be a cool deal actually. Neither sides does it, but it's close.

The way I see it, The Stars need a good LD and Honka (RD) may not be quite as good as Klingberg offensively, but he's no slouch and he's better defensively. He looked great in the preseason and will likely at least get a cup of coffee with the Stars this year. Johns is a top 4 RD as well. None of them will be on the bottom pairing, one could be moved, but i doubt itd be Johns due to him being one of our only physical defensive D.I love Klingberg, but I'd really think about pulling the trigger.

 

[PaulGG]

If the story is true then for sure the Ducks would still have to have a lower cap afterwards somehow. Cap dump and Lindholm for top young D player making what, 4-5 M?. Can't think of a team that actually would be able take on significant cap to upgrade from a top young D player to Lindholm along with signing Lindholm. Depending on what definition of top young D is this could be unrealistic .

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Pretty funny it's on the Jets board by your own people that Trouba wants to play near home in Detroit and doesn't want to play in Canada. And oh FYI Trouba is currently living at home in Detroit and training in Ann Arbor so how does this have to do with Florida again he's living and training in the Detroit area because that's where he wants to be.

Murray, small + for Lindholm?

See to me a move like that makes more sense assuming the + is pretty significant but idk that islands would be willing to add a good forward prospect/player to Hamonic. Obviously from an Anaheim perspective. I don't get the idea behind equal dmen according to that tweet, if you are moving lindholm then you are basically saying you feel Fowler is that guy... so why not look for a decent top 4 guy + a forward prospect.

Islanders have a decent supply of forward prospects/players id be interested in to go with Hamonic, and I think it kinda kills 2 birds with 1 stone.

Uhm, the Jets can handle that scenario. $9.8M of salary cap space, with a talented young defencemen ready to trade.

That's why a Lindholm trade seems to be up our alley IF he gets traded (but I don't think he will).

 

[Mad Brills*]

I'd do rielly + a prospect for lindholm in a heartbeat.

There is no source that says Trouba wants to play exclusively in Detroit. In fact, pundits have said Overhardt has talked to several teams.

Would Trouba play for Detroit. Sure he would. That doesn't mean he's excluded 28 other destinations.

 

[Ducks in a row]

Murray, small + for Lindholm?

He has missed a lot of games because of health problems. Not trading Lindholm for a worse defenseman who has had health problems causing him to miss a lot of games with us getting a small +

Sorry again, I thought that was all conjecture. I still hadn't seen that request from Trouba or his agent. Keep me posted if that happens.

Ducks shouldn't be taking a risk on a player that might want to stay in Anaheim. We're already one of the last places for high profile FAs to go, so trading for a guy who seems to want to only play in a certain area, or at the very least will refuse to play for certain teams is not someone the Ducks should look at trading Lindholm for.

Where have i ever stated that Trouba wants to play exclusively in Detroit, I've never once stated that and i'm getting sick an tired of people bringing it up. What i've said is that Trouba wants to play close to home near home in Detroit and doesn't want any part of Canada. I've never said that Trouba solely wants to play in Detroit though i'm pretty sure it would be #1 on his list. It sounds like Trouba wants to play in the States preferably in the Eastern Conference and as far as teams possibly linked to Trouba they're the Rangers, Bruins, Red Wings and the Coyotes as of now that have been mentioned.
