TSN (via LeBrun through the Athletic) has a post about Vancouver planning to push hard to keep Lindholm, and they very well should. . . . He's a great player and they spent substantially to acquire him. But I wanted to ask any Vancouver fans how they feel about it. (?) He's a pretty comparable player to the guy they couldn't make fit (or refused to) not too long ago, captain Bo Horvat, and I want to know if it frustrates the fan base at all. (?)

It's likely Lindholm could get close to the same $$$ amount on the open market that Horvat signed for with the NYI. I guess that's the difference between being competitive or not, it sure changes decision-making in a hurry but in a big way. While not a fan of Vancouver (even though I live here), I really like Horvat, and couldn't believe (at the time) that the Canucks were committing to Miller and moving on from their captain, but that's the business I suppose.
