Calgary will almost certainly get an offer with higher quality

Its funny that for Nylander people cry hes a rental and not worth anything but somehow Lindhome is worth more than 4 quality pieces

‘Might be an overpay’ 🤦🏻. Absolutely way too much (4 premium assets) for rental C that doesn’t drive his own line. Unless he’s playing with superstars, he puts up 50-60 points.

I never said Nylander is not worth anything. I would say him and Lindholm have very similar value. The issue with the trade is it's quantity not quality. A player like Lindholm or Nylander should absolutely return a 1st and a top 50 prospect, and probably some sort of lesser additions after that. The value is certainly there in a vacuum but it lacks a top end prospect.

For example would you trade Nylander at 50% for Del Bel Belluz + Ceulemans + Boqvist + protected 1st?

rose coloured glasses much? 4 premium assets is quite a way to describe a B level prospect, a B+ level prospect, 2nd pairing defenseman and a late 1st. Also complete disrespect on Lindholm, sure he is not an offensive play driver but he is an incredible 2-way supporting player. Bergeron and prime Toews were the ultimate example of this type of player, Couturier (before he got hurt) and Kopitar are other great examples of a player that does a lot of the dirty work to allow others to succeed so well offensively
