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

[Rude Dog]

I have watched the D live in Kitchener. Texted my brother that the Nucks had a great one. Guess that’s the flames now. I really like him.

 

[Double Dion]

I went to the Penticton games this year. Brusztewitz or whatever his name is stood out to me as the best prospect in the tournament

He was the guy I really wanted to get from Vancouver. Their fans undervalue him.

 

[DFAC]

Dont like giving up Hunter but I would imagine the Canucks have a plan on resigning Lindholm. Glad we did not give up one of Willander, Lekkerimaki, Hoglander or Podkolzin though.

Fair deal for both sides - Canucks going all in.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Gonna be real interesting how this effects Noah Hanifin’s mindset. Does he now let the Flames know, he’ll be moving on, and they then put him back on the market?

If so, he can be gone over the weekend as well.

Pretty sure Hanifin has said all along that he wants to be traded to a team willing to compensate a contract + contend

5 assets for a soon to be UFA seems dumb but I guess we’ll see.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Um, it's by far better

Well, if you look at the deal individually sure

But we got Hronek from that 1st round pick so...no complain here

 

[DJJones]

Very happy with this. 1st, decent prospect, usable player. 4th and the other D seem like long shots but more the merrier.

 

[GoodNewfieBoy]

What are the conditions on the fourth

 

[Double Dion]

Calgary got quantity over quality.

Late 1st and a meh prospect (plus other garbage) is a good price for a premier forward at the trade deadline

Brustewicz is IMO a high end prospect.

 

[HarrySPlinkett]

If Conroy just got this for Lindholm, who’s having a down year, I would much prefer to have whatever he can get for Hanifin rather than Hanifin himself.

We don't, it's not a fit for us, like Kuz is under Tocchet. He is phenomenal in the O zone, but skating and defense are major hurdles right now. I think Kuz is the big piece, I think he can bounce back for 30G if you let him play.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Honestly a pretty solid return. Seems like a win-win trade as of now

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Does Kuz get moved again?

 

[LemonSauceD]

Yeah, they're pretty bad at drafting. Who do they have? Hughes? EP???? Weak.

The f*** are you yapping about

 

[Dion TheFluff]

is that 6 allstars for Vancouver now? lol

 

[Rod Auger]

Vancouver deserves some success.

Bite your tongue

 

[Bankerguy]

Jurmo sucks... and the 4th is conditional
to say 5 assets for a UFA is a bit disingenuous

In real talk, Calgary got a late 1st round pick and a A- prospect with the value of about a late 1st round pick and a player with negative value due to contract....

Fair value. Go win your cup

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Isn't this the type of move that shortens the window though?

Nope

We still have our 4 best prosepcts, WIllander, Lekkerimaki, Podkolzin and Pettersson (D)

Also Bruz is a long shot and he will likely never see PP time with Hughes and Hronek on the team

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

People calling this a "haul" for CGY clearly don't follow the Canucks or their system. The only value CGY got here was the 1st. Which is projecting to be a very late 27-32 range pick. The rest are throw ins. This was the very definition of quantity over quality for CGY. But the optics they will spin from a PR stand point for people who don't know anything about the players. I think CGY could have done better and almost certainly would have if they'd waited.

Seems like rentals, without an extension typically get a late 1st and a good, but not great prospect, no? I don't think it's a "haul", but it seems pretty typical to me.

You act like this doesnt happen every single trade deadline. He was the top rental out there

this is a throw-in?





feels like cope

 

[KingsHockey24]

Bite your tongue

Bite it for me.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Im joking. Breath and read what I was replying to.

 

[Phrasing]

Um, it's by far better

Not sure I agree. The first round pick was much better in a much deeper draft. Kuzmenko is a higher cap hit to Beau. Brz and the 4th and Raty are the difference in value here. Jurmo is a nothing player.

I don’t think you can consider a guy who nearly leads his junior league in points as a dman in his D + 1 a “throw in” as flawed as he may be. I think it’s a fair deal for both teams.
