Scratching Cole???

Canucks pass, Lindholm isn't getting moved unless Guentlez is coming our way

That’s absolutely fine. My guess is Boston signs him on July 1st. I thought you might prefer Toffoli / DeBrusk since you aren’t willing to meet Dubas’s ask. I think it is going to be awkward for both DeBrusk and Lindholm if no deal is made



Didnt give that much thought. Was more focused on the incremental part of the deal. You playing him on his offside or does Tocchet still have an issue with that?

Canucks would absolutely accept that. Getting Toffoli and DeBrusk at basically the same cap hit as Lindholm without giving up any other assets? Yep.

Problem is BOS wouldn't offer it.

I think that Sweeney covets Lindholm or he wouldn’t be involved. Just a guess, but I know there are some Boston fans that don’t want them to sign Lindholm outright. I’m actually expecting Lindholm to be a Bruin on July 1st, but things can and often do change

This kind of fits the concept of redistributing limited assets talk that Elliott Friedman was talking about.

To me, it’s Ullmark, DeBrusk, and 3.25m of retention this year for Lindholm, Schmid, and a 2025 2nd. I could easily see that happening
