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

[kcunac]

Bruzstewicz please!

I would prefer to trade him then PodK but I may be in the minority of Canuck fans

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

If it’s not Höglander, lekk, hunter or willander

This is a completely logical trade for Vancouver

Add D Petey to the list too.

Why would it be Hog? Get his name out your damn mouth

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

I’ll give Hunter away, it’s very likely that this is the peak of his value

Agreed. Would rather Hunter than a guy like Podkolzin

 

[mkatcherin00]

Man I wish I could get both him and Tanev.
Surprised Calgary is trading within the division again though.

They have a cheap owner. He will only trade within if CGY doesn't retain, like with Zadorov.

 

[LeonDraisaitl]

If Vancouver can pull this off I’ll be happy. Please screw over the Flames

 

[Canucks LB]

Way too much talent for a UFA in my opinion

 

[Jay26]

Lindholm has been trash, but will probably look much better in VAN. I think he is checked out in CGY

If he can play at the level of a 2nd line C I think Canucks fans would be happy. We don't need him to be a go to guy with Hughes/Pettersson/Miller/Boeser in the fold.

 

[mkatcherin00]

He plays better with good linemates, statistically and historically.

He’s a monumental two-way upgrade though

Yes, Lindholm can play very good if he is not the top dawg. In Vancouver he would not be.

 

[Double Dion]

Yeah. That I’m fine with. Lindholm isn’t playing well to get a killer prospect

If the prospect is Willander or Lekkerimaki with a 1st and Kuzmenko we win the trade. If it's Brustewicz or a player like Hoglander it's a solid deal for both sides. If it's a lower end prospect we lose.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Lindholm has had a tough year offensively but he’d be a big upgrade defensively over Kuzmenko. One thing I’ll say about Kuzmenko though is that he never pouted when he was benched. Maybe Calgary can get through to him.
He’s an easy guy to like.

 

[Russian_fanatic]

I'm also in the camp I'd rather give up Hunter than Pods.

Pods is going to be a very good top 9 forward. I don't see Hunters game translating.

 

[Canucks LB]

This also gives a month for the Canucks to cook even more before the deadline

 

[Double Dion]

I would prefer to trade him then PodK but I may be in the minority of Canuck fans

I'd prefer to have Bru. We have more than enough 3rd line wingers.

 

[thefutures]

Is this real, why are we being slowrolled

 

[FLAMESFAN]

I hope Lindholm gets back to being a PPG guy and Selke talk again. But 70% of fans will still have no idea because they'll rarely catch a game.

Your name MAY bias you a bit...haha

 

[Jay26]

Nah I'm with you. The Canucks have taken the care to develop Pod and being him along. He's so close to being a good cost controlled addition to the team when they start experiencing the cap squeeze that it would be a total shame to end up trading him.

Brew is a fantastic prospect but the Canucks can afford to trade him.

 

[MardyBum]

Whoa big move from Vancouver. This is what I get for taking my kids to swimming classes, I miss the fun

 

[Forge]

Is this real, why are we being slowrolled

Slowrolled?

Sir, let me tell you about a little thing that happened last year called the Timo Meier trade

 

[aryanoboi]

One thing to note

Imagine the defensive abilities of a Huberdeau-Sharangovich-Kuzmenko line

ELITE

 

[kcunac]

I'd prefer to have Bru. We have more than enough 3rd line wingers.

Sounds like a deal to me

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Just a question for Vancouver fans, is this a sign they're going all in with the murky situation of Petterson's RFA or a sign that they're trying to show him that they're able to compete with him on the roster or a bit of both?

One thing to note

Imagine the defensive abilities of a Huberdeau-Sharangovich-Kuzmenko line

ELITE

The castaway line

 

[Aashir]

what is the canucks biggest weakness now?

They now have the flexibility to load miller and pettersson up and have an elite 2C in lindholm to still anchor the line or they could move lindholm to the wing and have miller-pettersson down the middle
They have 1C 1G 1D and 1W set. That third line is red hot as of the past 15 games or so

I'm not sure how Ian Cole has done as a #4 but maybe he could be a "weak" point of the team. Maybe an upgrade on Suter as the 2 LW?

 

[Bankerguy]

It's a 1st round pick and Hoglander along with Kuzmekno.

for Lindholm and something lesser (later pick or B-C lvl prospect).

Watch.
