Thread: Jets need Lindholm
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Benzino204</b></div><div>We'll see at the deadline if Lindholm a) doesn't sign in Calgary, and b) if the Jets need an injection in the lineup.

Calgary can get more than that for Lindholm.

I'm in the minority here it seems, but the Jets can absolutely go big on a rental.

Winnipeg has Lucius, McGroarty, Chibrikov, Salomonsson, Lambert, and Barlow coming up. The prospect pool is good, and deep enough to sacrifice one of those guys for a rental the caliber of Lindholm. His two way ability would be beloved by Bones.

Of those prospects, my choice to go is Lucius, but this is the time to go all in and make that sacrifice for the Cup.</div></div>

If we can get Lindholm for a 1st 2nd and a prospect not one of main ones (McGroarty, Barlow, Lambert, Lucius, chibrikov) I'd do this deal swapping heinola in tbh. To get lindholm without the major prospect would be a massive win. Ik term would be nice but perfetti needs a deal ehlers and connor are coming up and dmen as well. I'd say a rental is better bc if he doesn't fit we don't have issue and if he is we're winning games can try and get him on a 2-3 year deal in the 7m range or trade his right or just move on.

Thread: Dubois
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BruinsWoahWoah</b></div><div>Yeah I don't see the need here - why trade for PLD and play him at wing when he is a C?

Also don't think he would sign that deal - he is looking for $8-9M AAV on his next contract.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Benzino204</b></div><div>It's not a huge stretch to put him on the wing. He played a dozen or so games on the wing in Winnipeg</div></div>

There is always another center on Hughes’ line. For faceoffs and for defending down low and near net. They want to avoid getting Hughes tied up. Once they turn the other way, especially for transition, Hughes is back in the middle.

It’s like a Hughes line center wing hybrid. Haula played that role mostly last year. Sharangovich in two years before that. Mercer has also filled the spot at times.

Dubois would be there in this lineup.
