Calgary declines. They are giving up the 2 best players and a pick

Flames wouldnt trade Lindholm alone for that

ADA > hanifin, and not by a little bit. Lundkvist is one of the top prospects in the nhl that just broke the SHL record for points by a defenseman under 20 in a league that had Hedman, Karla son and Dahlin but sure I’ll just sweep that under the rug to fit my narrative.

Still wouldnt trade Lindholm for that. If DeAngelo is better than Hanifin then why dont you just keep him

Because we have an over abundance of rhd and not lhd. Ppl out here thinking lindholm is eichel I guess. Lindholm is a 2nd line player and to not trade him for a 3a2b center and a top 20 rhd prospect setting records is crazy

Yeah he's a 1st line player, so that's where you are wrong, he can also play rw/lw/c which makes him versatile. Rather have hanifan then DeAngelo, rather have Lindholm then all the other stuff combined. Not giving up the pick. This is a no go from Calgary, they downgrade everywhere

Not to mention that he's on a very affordable contract for another 4 years.

Maybe they make a deal like this if they were in rebuild mode, but we're a ways off from that at this time.

No one thinks Lindholm is Eichel.. and no one thinks it's even close but Lindholm is worth more than Deangelo and Strome together and Lawrence Pilut lead the SHL in points by a d man in 2018, he was 22, why would they not just target him and Montour for less? I mean if points by a d man is the factor we are looking at to fit narratives. Calgary is trading two plays on deals under 5 million dollars for the next 4 years at least, in return they're getting two high end RFA negotiations, what is the point in that?
