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

[dirtydanglez]

If this is a straight up 1 for 1, I find it hard to believe this was the best return Conroy could net for Lindholm. Timing is odd also, one would think teams would be more desperate closer to deadline.

already confirmed to be a package.

Soooo... is trhis good or bad for either team?>

Regardless of his defensive play, it's kind of crazy that a 28 year old with 39 goals and 74 points just last year is a throw in in a trade for a rental.

Coach just didn't like him. Canucks were never gonna get that out of him again

There’s a reason the team that he scored all those points on was trash and the team he can’t even get minutes on is gunning for a Cup, even before this deal.

 

[Szechwan]

Hoping it's not Hog, but would happy with Kuz, 1st and any of Raty/Brz/ and more reluctantly, Pod

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Exciting!

Calgary fans, I know Lindholm was up for a Selke nomination 2 years back but how is his defense now?

It's still good. His best aspect really.

Kind of always been hot and cold offensively. He's struggled this year I think mostly being in his head about the contract and the state of the team. He's an all around really good fwd, just not the elite 1C the Flames needed to take another step. He's at his best when he's digging in on the boards and making 2nd efforts that create chances for his linemates. Imagine he'll fit in fine for the Canucks.

Tanev!

Oh I know, it's not a big loss for the Canucks since Tocchet was never going to play him much anyway but this guy looked like a star last year. Just crazy how things changed so quickly with him.

 

[Szechwan]

Huberdeau and kuzmenko would be the slowest line in the league lol

They would spend so much time skating East-West they might split the rink in half

Canucks get rid of a guy the coach doesn't trust and gets 5.5m off the books for next year when they have to re-sign Hronek and Pettersson, also get a much needed top 6 FWD.

Calgary gets to buy low on a 39 goal scorer, while also getting futures

 

[Canucks LB]

No way

He needs to play in a low pressure environment where there is less demand for two way hockey. If he goes to a team like Chicago he could probably pop in 30 goals but I'm not sure he ever scores 39 again.

 

[vcanuck]

So they ultimately got rid of Horvat just cus?

Hronek says hi

[Buresflyingelbow]

[Canucks LB]

Omfg

I'm hoping he gets an opportunity to shine in Calgary. He's still a really good player

 

[kcunac]

No way

No way!

 

[Donuts]

come on Allvin, hit another home run
just no hogs, brz, lek etc

kuz + 1st + late pick i can deal with

 

[vcanuck]

Huberdeau and kuzmenko would be the slowest line in the league lol

probably the laziest duo lol

 

[MardyBum]

Should retain on Kuzmenko and trade him to a contender.

 

[aryanoboi]

Jesus Christ tanev too?

 

[Mr Kot]

No way

 

[Mrfenn92]

I think Tanev will be apart of the deal with more coming from Vancouvers end .

You were correct so it seems
