Thread: wild offseason lol
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>It’ll be fascinating to see what Jersey does to fill the goalie situation. I personally believe that Ullmark is the best option at the relative price for a decent period of time with an extension.

Holtz is going to be interesting in terms of how he’s valued. In one sense, he’s talented enough to be worth more than the 2025 first. In another, he’s had a couple of coaches minimize his role and he has some risks.

Lauko is likely an insurance policy that cycles between Providence and Boston. It’s OK if he is exposed via waivers. Hes still useful even if he isn’t on the NHL roster</div></div>

In terms of coaches, Brunette was Holtz biggest advocate in NJD.

And if I had to trust coaches views, I think I go

Thread: Lindholm Prove It Deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bruins_Guy613</b></div><div>MIller since coming over from Tampa has been a point a game player, Lindholm on the other hand hasn't always been to that level. and not that they need to be offensive juggernauts but Lindholm best years came with some pretty high end wingers but is pretty average without them. i think he's a fine player but for me my concern is the age of the player and the length of contract we're going to give out to him.</div></div>

Miller was not playing to his level last year. He was not a plus defender after a career of being one. Hai defensive efficiency metrics were in the bottom third, which is an absolute anomaly, fans were openly talking about sending him to Pittsburgh despite his history

Using the point per game status was how fans of other teams discounted Patrice Bergeron. Outside of this year, Lindholm has been a very good two way center whose advanced stats were extremely good,

He’s struggled this year. 100% acknowledged. If he would have been acquired in free agency last offseason, the deal would have been lauded and he would have been viewed as the missing piece. It’s one year.

What you or I think is irrelevant. It’s what Sweeney thinks which matters. I will say that Don tends to focus on his own evaluations rather than fit within their previous system. It’s one of the reasons I believe Lindholm is more likely than not at this point. Things change. See Hanifin.
