Thread: Retoolin
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dr_Invictus</b></div><div>If he can't do that on the Canucks, he isn't doing it on the Flames. They would be better of taking offers on him retained.
KOTKANIEMI is in his 3rd full NHL season and is on pace for 36 PTS at nearly 5MM AAV for another 6 seasons. I'm not sure it's worth the gamble for a 3rd line center. His age is the only real upside here.</div></div>

Kuzmenko is playing on the Canucks third line and getting 2nd unit PP time. With the flames his ice time would increase significantly.

Kotkaneimi still has some potential as a power center who can impact the game on both ends of the ice. I don't think he will ever turn into a 1st line centre but in a few years time he may be a very solid second line centre. He could very well be a long term cog for the Flames going forward.

Thread: Rebuild Retool
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CM_Insane</b></div><div>I don't agree with that thought process Lindholm is a better face-off taker then Petey. Lotto line shouldn't be permanent as becomes easier to check against us. Bringing Petey back and having him-Lindholm- Mikheyev would be better than Kuzmenko imo. This would also give us cap space to make another deal (ie. Bring a speed forechecker to play on Miller's LW)

Though I do think we'd have to give a prospect (like Raty) to get the deal done as horvat deal as a comparable is fair. If we deal a 1st should only be this year's and not next years cause team could get riddled with injuries again and then we are giving a good pick away.</div></div>

Will add a prospect to the deal.

The deal on my end makes sense for both teams as Vancouver currently has the need for a solid two way centre. Lindholm is a 1B/2A centre and would fit with Vancouver like a glove and alleviate a huge amount of pressure off Petey. He's great defensively, great at face-offs and can play any style of game.

Calgary needs RH shooters on the wing, almost all of our wingers are playmakers and it's been effecting the powerplay. Obviously losing Lindholm sucks but at the end of the day we need to trade him.

Seems like a win/win for both teams.
