How does Lindholm sign for that and not stay in Anaheim?
Does Jaccobs run a mob or something?
Probably doesn't want to sit through a rebuild

You are not losing any of of your top prospects. You give up 1 1st rounder
2nd rounders are spaced out. You have time to recover those
You gave up no valuable player from the roaster.
If you don't give that up for a franchise type of D who will be your player for next 8 years..... Who do you give that up for?
errr....knowing the extension @ 6.5 for Lindholm. I would've done that deal and traded Nylander for prospects/low cap hit players to create cap space. I mean Dubas should have known the ask from Lindholm, right?? Was 6.5 too high for him because he refuses to trade anyone from the top 4?
Oh he knew everything alright. He's too loyal to his boys. Lindholm coming here means someone in the top-4 no longer as a place on the team.errr....knowing the extension @ 6.5 for Lindholm.

A 1st, 2 seconds and a 2 players is a ridiculous price for a player who hasn’t really had that great of a season in a couple years. He’s been on a bad team, but still. Don’t get me wrong, I was interested, but not at that acquisition cost.
I do not see Lindholm as a franchise D. Maybe that’s the disconnect between our reactions
He got a McDonagh like contract because that's the type of D he is. Exactly what Toronto could use.Lindholm got that type of deal because he's not on the level of some of the other D who have signed deals this season, bit beacuse the Bruins got a steal of a deal at best they got a fair one.
Dermott probably has played his last game as a Leaf. Curious what the return will be
Dubas did right not overpaying especially when he could be fired this off-season. I respect that. Leafs in a tough spot with their goalie situation. How good is Giordano??
After this year, Boston is looking at one soon enough, no?Probably doesn't want to sit through a rebuild
Giving up any prime assets after seeing teams already better than the leafs get even better doesn’t make sense. The realistic approach would be to stand pat or tinker but not give anything of substance. Regroup in the off-season, decide on the future with management, coaching and core and go from there. Sucks but best long term play.
