Description

I know Calgary fans will ask for more but I honestly feel like this is a pretty decent haul. Jackets fans probably say it's too much. I have a hard time believing a team would give up more.

If we're comparing it to the Dubois return it's less. Vilardi is more developed but injury prone. I still think Sillinger projects as a 2C. Boqvist has a bright future and I think calgary maybe takes a chance on the Jackets being bad next year. Who knows where that pick could be..

This is pre-season and with an extension signed. At the deadline with no contract signed Calgary is getting a lot less. The Jackets have the assets to make it work. yeah there will be cap complications but ehhh 1C Fantilli 2C Lindholm for the next 8 years would be awesome.

I'd rather hold on to Sillinger at this point than chase Lindholm. Both the trade cost and contract cost pretty much make adding Lindholm an almost guaranteed poor choice long term.

This is a very reasonable deal for sure. Both teams should highly consider. Top 5 protect that first though.

Personally i don't see why columbus is always trading away sillinger, he will most likely become a good 2C with fantilli being your 1C. In two years both your center core is solved and you could use your picks to draft or help you in areas for when your window actually opens.

I see where you're coming from. If you make this trade you don't have to worry about acquiring a top 6 center for the next 8 years. Until the Jackets find one playoff success feels unlikely to me. If Jarmo can make it happen and make the cap work I think he will try. If he can't make the cap work I agree it shouldn't happen. I feel like they're more inclined to make a move like this because Gaudreau is only getting older. Sillinger probably won't be a 50-60 pt guy for another few years. With all the young wings I think it might be good to have a vet in the middle to balance it out

Even if he's not a 2C he should end up as a very good 3C. I'm interested in how he'll do next year without a training camp concussion and with competent linemates for more than 10 games.

I agree with needing another top 6C. I just think Lindholm is too expensive in the cost to acquire and the cost to extend him for the age that he is. If we were talking about a center that was going to be starting his new contract at 27 or 28 I'd be a lot more comfortable with the idea, but he's gonna be 30 a couple months into his next contract. Also, as nice as it would be to have two thirds of the Gaudreau-Lindholm-Tkachuk line, I don't like the idea of paying ~$18M for them while missing the guy who was the real heart of the line.

Getting Lindholm to help ease Fantilli into the league would be huge for Columbus. It would be similar to when Buffalo had ROR in front of Eichel, except there wouldn't be a bunch of bad blood and the team would be a lot deeper around them than just Reinhart.

Personally I would rather take a different prospect than Boqvist from the Flames perspective. I would want to gamble on someone like Dumais.
