Confirmed with Link: Lindy to Canucks for F Kuzmenko, D Hunter Brzustewicz, D Joni Jurmo, 2024 1st, Cond. 2024 4th

[TheHudlinator]

The potential exists with Kuzmenko for sure but I wont pretend he hasn’t struggled this year though. Fresh start is all it takes sometimes though. Also comparing him to Lindholm is silly because Kuzmenkos defence and skating can best be described as “existing”.

My point was Kuzmenko struggling isnt that far of Lindholm struggling sure Lindholm is better at D but Kuzmenko has the ability to really help our scoring out especially if he can find his game Ala Sharangovich

If Kuz rebounds, he could land us a haul at the deadline next year

Yeah I agree, best case scenario… he certainly should get the opportunity.

 

[super6646]

Wonder who's playing centre for us now lol.

Kinda wish Zary got some reps beforehand, because we pretty much have to play him there now.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

My guess is Kuzmenko hit the caviar too hard when he got paid. Some in Van said he was out of shape. My guess is he gets back into shape and could be a valuable asset at the deadline next year.

[FLAMESFAN]

My prayers were answered

Now flip Kuz

I hope we play the hell out of him, get him back to a 70 point F and trade him for a 1st next year.
Or even draft day too...

 

[Some Other Flame]

Now if Conroy can just trade Hanifin for a similar return, he'll have gotten this rebuild off to a fantastic start

 

[Zirakzigil]

Really happy with the trade. Conroy just got 5 assets for Lindholm. Bruzstewitz looks like a prospect that could be Fox like, not saying he will be, but hes sure taken a big jump this year. Curious how Kuzmenko and Hube could look together.

Went to Bali in the Summer. Had a pretty unorthodox offseason.

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

Happy they didn’t include Tanev. Tanev will have a bidding war around the league for his services.

Yes me too. Thought he would be included.

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

So we won’t have anyone representing us at the ASG now

 

[Iggys Dome]

So we won’t have anyone representing us at the ASG now

We don’t deserve anybody there lol

Edit: actually send Coleman or Sharo

If tanev gets a first I’ll shower Connie with praise. I’m still skeptical until I see it.

Sharangovich, kadri, Backlund fourth line will be a rotation is my guess

Wasn’t sharangovich awful in the dot?

We pretty much have 2 natural nhl centres rn that I can name. Flames are going to have to add some in the off-season

 

[MM917]

Good, not great return. I reserve upgrading depending on what we do with Kuzmenko, I want nothing to do with him on this team short term or long term so if we move him or sign him it will swing the deal either way.

Reading about Brustewizki sp? He sounds like a guy fans love as a prospect following his stat line and missing watching his “defensive” play but hopefully he turns out better than he has been.

Really want to see Kuzmenko moved for good value though to up this trade value.

Sharangovich has been night and day since getting here. He will be given a shot imo

 

[Rubi]

I'm happy with the trade. Hopefully under new coach Huska, Kuzmenko can get his mojo back. I Like the Hunter Brewsstewitz guy. I like the 1st and 4th rnd picks. Not sure about Jurmo

 

[FLAMESFAN]

Is he physical at all? We could call him Bruizer.....
I do enjoy beer.....Brews....

 

[JPeeper]

This return is excellent considering Lindholm has been the dog's breakfast this year. Flames got the first we all wanted, they got a really solid prospect, they got another mid round draft pick that could potentially improve (hopefully it doesn't because I want Vancouver out in the first round), plus two other assets.

I don't know how you do any better with a guy who has 8 goals on the year and has looked disinterested the entire time.

 

[crazyfisherman]

4th becomes a 3rd if nucks goes to the west finals too, guess cheer for the nucks in the playoffs now? Lots of good stuff out of this trade tho, kick start the rebuild, adding to the D pipeline which has been kinda lacking, boost our own 1st probably as well. Although we will prob never fall to rock bottom with backlund kicking and dragging us everywhere lol

Brewski

 

[ViD]

Kuzmenko is a younger player who already almost matched Lindholm’s best ever totals last season

Big win for Calgary given the rest of the return
