You'd probably be looking at Lindholm to the Canes with an extention if you wanted Necas.

Why would PLD sign here?

Flyers easily decline and probably block you

canes pass. What would Coleman and Markstrom with 1 million retain cost ?(just markstrom has retain).

Hilarious. The price of Lindholm to Columbus just keeps going up. It started as Lindholm+ for 3 OA, then it was Lindholm for 3 OA, then Lindholm for 3 OA+, and now we're at Lindholm for 3 OA++. All this despite it having been a joke right from the start that Columbus would even consider anything in this line of negotiation.

How to say this nicely…YOU ARE NOT GETTING THE 3OA PICK FOR LINDHOLM. Not happening. Calgary has no leverage in this situation. Any pick in the Top 5 is not going to be traded for Lindholm. Plus, any trade that requires a sign and trade would have to take play on July 1 bc that is the first time Lindholm can sign the extension. That is after the draft. So sign and trade is going to involve picks in 2024 and beyond. Geez this isn’t hard to understand.

Cal fans are delusional if they honestly think they are getting 3rd overall

Typical Canadian hockey fans. They always are unrealistic when it comes to trade values of their players.

I mean they could have a handshake deal in place to trade 23 pick but it’s not gonna happen. Cal fans are delusional and are going to be very disappointed this summer.

Problem with that is there is no way to enforce it and it would be a bad look to draft, let’s say Carlsson, then turnaround and trade him days later. Just can’t see that happening.

Oh no Carlsson would never be the deal. What I mean is they trade (not Columbus they) a 23rd with a handshake contract with lindholm and then he officially signs it on July 1st. Now it’s a bit risky because lindholm COULD say Nevermind I’m not signing but I’d be surprised if something like that happened. Either way he isn’t getting a top 10 pick

This is getting comical. Feel bad for CGY fans but these ACGMs and trades are mayhem.

Easiest no from Philly ever. That trade is complete nonsense

@jcambers, you said down to the studs but three quarters of the trades are bringing in young(ish) but more or less established talent instead of picks and prospects. The worst is the PHI proposal because you're trading for a 25 yo with 2-years left and giving a team that is actually trying to bring everything down to the studs (like Chicago) a 26 yo rental D. The close second would be the Dubois trade since it is pretty safe to assume that he has no interest in signing with Calgary.

What you proposed here is a decent idea of a retool in terms of personnel (other than Dubois), maybe give it another shot but while taking into consideration the contract situation of players and the teams' situation.



Most diehard fans are delusional, and that Canadian teams typically have more diehard NHL hockey fans. Also, most fans are also not GM-material and a lot lack the ability to make comparisons between past trades and mock trades.

Are you trying to make me mad? You're trying to make me mad.

I will say, and this applies to all fanbases: Texier is completely unavailable, he went through a ton of s*** and the organization supported him through all of it, and is excited to welcome him back. Trading him now would be up there for worst human-factor moves all time by an NHL team.

Geez these are unrealistic and bad, Columbus would be setting themselves back trading the 3rd overall pick.

I know all of Calgary’s players want to leave, but for the love of god please stop trying to trade them to the Flyers. The Flyers are in a rebuild. They are trading players for futures, not 30 year olds that need new contracts in a year or two.

Flyers are rebuilding and would rather get picks then give them for another goalie and an expiring ufa who probably has no desire to play long term with a rebuilder.

Also Lindholm is a good player but he sure as hell not getting you the 3oa.
