This makes no sense. Are you buying or selling?

As for the trade values. For both trades, rentals don't return that type of value. Lindholm doesn't get a top 3 pick even with #16 attached, and Nylander doesn't get remotely that much

While this certainly isn’t the worst Lindholm to CBJ proposal that I’ve seen on here, 3rd overall isn’t going anywhere. I’d expect back the LA first rounder, Sillinger, and another sweetener.

As for the Nylander deal, you’re giving up far too much here.

I did the Lindholm trade for pick 3 because that idea has been circulating around the Flames community for a little bit so I wanted to see what it could look like. Not sure if it’s insanely realistic. I think the Nylander trade is quite a bit, but considering what Bertuzzi and other wingers have gone for, I thought this was relatively realistic but also pleasing for Leafs fans lol. I can imagine the flames doing a retool like this after the season they had, and Conroy saying they wanted to “change the core a little bit”.

I think CBJ could definitely give up the 3rd pick since Gaudreau and Laine are both a little older now, they want to speed up their rebuild so they can support them and I think Lindholm could be a great centre to them since he and Johnny have good chemistry.

As for the Nylander trade, yes it’s pretty unrealistic but I wanted to please leafs fans. You could easily take out Poirier or Ruzicka or the 2nd.

Yea Nylander trade is unrealistic, wanted to make sure leafs fans were happy lol. I think the Lindholm trade could be made if Lindholm extends immediately like the Chucky trade. But I did the Lindy trade because the idea of him for 3rd overall has been circulating. Thought it would be fun to try it and see what it could look like. Also I guess you could call it a rebuild
