Thread: we should be all over Lindholm situation
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MNBassman</b></div><div>I hate the idea of trading futures for Lindholm! In fact I think trading for any older player needing a new contract is a poor way to run a franchise . The problem is, because you just traded so much to acquire the player, you are forced to resign him for too much and too long because the player’s agent has ALL the leverage. Look at Huberdeau’s contract after the big trade. The last thing the Wild need is to find themselves in cap hell again with bad contracts and fading players. They will probably have one in the future when they resign Kaprizov…so trading for Lindholm is playing with fire too much for my liking. I want the Wild (almost) always trading aging players for younger players, not the other way around. This is how you manage the cap for the long haul and stay competitive for the long haul too! Bottom line, I would only trade for aging players if I am swapping aging players to get them or if the previous team eats a ton of salary. Carolina is the team emulate, not the way the Wild did business under morons like Risebrough and Fletcher for 20 years…</div></div>

this type of thinking is why MIN will never have a 1C. How often does a player like Lindholm become available? Once in a blue moon.

Thread: we should be all over Lindholm situation
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wojohawk</b></div><div>Hawks won't use their 2nd of 3 retention spots for only a 3rd, rather they would save it for a bigger return on something else.

Hawks and Wild make interesting trading partners in general. Hawks have the biggest surplus of cap space which with the buyout penalties the Wild desperately could use. Hawks have cheap NHL or NHL ready players Tyler Raddysh, Roos, &amp; Katchouck would be 3 that fill roster spots at minimal cap cost. Wild have a deep prospect pool, with Spacek and Bankier being pretty intriquing and some road blocks in front of them playing in the NHL (especially if you add Lindholm).

Maybe something like Hawks retain on Lindholm, send Trad &amp; Roos for Spacek, Bankier, a future 2nd, Petrovsky, &amp; Johansson (I assume you want to move him simply to lose the cap and don;t really want him otherwise)?</div></div>

I wouldn't do that but most hawks fans ask a first for TRad.
