Confirmed Trade: [VAN/CGY] Elias Lindholm for Andrei Kuzmenko, Hunter Brzustewicz, Joni Jurmo, 2024 1st, cond. 2024 4th

[Russian_fanatic]

So they ultimately got rid of Horvat just cus?

The Horvat assets led to us getting Hronek.

Essentially trading a center for a defenseman.

 

[PuckFather]

They confirmed they are but from what I understand they are asking him to waive anyway

They should take an angry picture of Tocchet to the meeting with him and he will waive

 

[BKarchitect]

Why are you trying desperately to make your narrative happen? Durzi is not nearly the player Hronek is, especially for a Cup contender.

Yeah…is this guy legitimately trying to say the Hronek deal wasn’t worth it. LMFAO

I hate the Canucks. If this is Kuz and a super late 2024 1st and whatever…any young prospect not Will or Lekki (and it won’t be)….then I’d be so pumped. Keep EP and JTM together and have a competent second line center and that ridiculous bottom six depth….thats nice. That’s easily a Cup worthy forward group.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Has to be more than just Kuzmenko, the 1st at least. If not, wooof. Hope he plays well, retain 50% and get something else

Kuzmenko is a salary dump and the Nucks would be gaining cap for this season as well. 1st round pick and a prospect will be involved too.

 

[MKGamingByMunish]

No chance the Canucks trade Willander.

Now that I think about it, I agree. If Calgary doesnt want the late 2024 1st, maybe they can bank on the 2025 pick being a bit higher.

 

[AintLifeGrand]

send him to nashville !!!

[Rare Jewel]

Durzi. Lol.

Hronek was the much better choice.

Debatable.

 

[MOGlLNY]

Alvin is an in season monster. Shows that a lot of GM's need to give their balls a tug.

 

[FLAMESFAN]

So if no Kuz, then the prospect included gets upgraded?

 

[Donuts]

kuz wont waive
it will be Mik instead straight up for Lindholm lol

Chevy is an in season zombie… wandering around looking for a brain

 

[Canucks LB]

Boom

 

[Jay26]

He's someone with a narrative in his head and he's doing cartwheels and gymnastics to try to make it make sense instead of simply accepting an explanation from Canucks fans.

 

[Regal]

So they ultimately got rid of Horvat just cus?

Couldn’t afford him, and used the assets to add Hronek. I don’t know if they could afford Lindholm after this year

 

[Mrfenn92]

Pretty bad to not at least get kuzmenko on board or to see where’s at in waiving to go to Calgary

 

[mkatcherin00]

Why wouldn't Vancouver go to Kuzemnko and ask him first

Pretty amateur hour to leak this out and put pressure on him lol

Is it March already?

 

[red devil]

 

[super6646]

We’ll find out shortly if it’s 1 for 1 lmao. It can’t be…





God it better not be lol

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Didn't you just guarantee that Hoglander was a part of the trade?

Yeah I wondering where that guy was getting that from. Allvin said before they don't want to trade Hoglander. He's important to the current roster & with the cap crunch next season.

Would be surprised but we'll see. Not impossible.

 

[Bankerguy]

If Lindholm is expensive then just rent Crosby for the playoffs then agree to trade-him back for a 7th?
He might waive as he's familiar with management.

 

[Canucks LB]

Why wouldn't Vancouver go to Kuzemnko and ask him first

Of course they have secretly, don’t always believe what you read
