Description
I do understand the need for the Flames to do a rebuild/retool with all of the pending UFAs. However, I would like the entertain the idea of the Flames finding former Panthers players (ie. Duclair) as a spark for Huberdeau to at least be more competent and not be complete cap dead weight for the Flames.
Also, will the Toronto Maple Leafs revisit the Tanev trade and maybe consider swapping goalies?
Even though Philadelphia is considered retooling/rebuilding team, will their position in the playoff bubble justify a Noah Hanifin trade? I will let the comments decide.

Trade Tanev (50%RS) and Dan Vladar to Toronto for Ilya Samsonov, 3rd round pick 2024 (from NYI) and 3rd round pick 2025

Trade Lindholm to San Jose for Anthony Duclair, conditional 2nd round pick 2024 and conditional 2nd round pick 2025

Conditions: if San Jose does not win the 2024 draft lottery, they can choose whether to keep the 2024 or 2025 2nd round pick;
-> if San Jose wins the 2024 draft lottery they will keep the 2024 pick but lose the 2025 pick

Trade Hanifin (50%RS) to Philadelphia for Nick Seeler, Helge Grans, conditional 2nd round pick 2024 and conditional 3rd round pick 2025

Conditions: if Philadelphia misses the 2024 playoffs, they can choose whether to keep the 2nd round pick or 3rd round pick
->if Philadelphia makes the 2024 playoffs, they lose the 2024 2nd round pick and 2025 3rd round pick gets converted to 2025 2nd round pick
->if Philadelphia wins a round in the 2024 playoffs, both the 2024 2nd round pick and the 2025 3rd round pick get converted to 2024 1st round pick and 2025 2nd round pick

These are weak/underwhelming returns for the Flames all around

Lmao. Oh god this is definitely not it.

All these returns are brutal for the Flames and none of them are going to help the Huberdeau issue. His problem is self confidence and trading for random middle 6 and depth players just because he knows them isn't going to fix that. He needs to get out of his own head and the best way to do that is take all the pressure off the team to succeed. Build an environment where it's fun for him to play, the same way adding 2 energetic rookies to Kadri's line revitalized his game

Duclair isn’t a bad idea, but sharks pass without a contract in place! I like Lindholm but 2nd plus Duclair for 2 months of lindholm during a rebuild seems like a waste of a 2nd if he walks this off-season.
And if there is a contract in place this is a bad underpayment for lindhom

I agree, but giving him a player he knows and was successful with in the past is a decent idea! Having a comfort level with a player helps a guy when he is slumping.
Though this specific trade is bad for both clubs! Lindholm is worth way more to a team with a chance at resigning him and sharks shouldn’t be giving up 2nds for rentals
