<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DarthRightus</b></div><div>we're not desperate to move lindholm and boston was always willing to pay a lot to get him.

if you think we're doing that deal under duress you're delusional. this isn't a must for us it's a want.

Boston on the other hand HAS to do something. Florida is taking the conference by the throat right now.</div></div>

oh, they were? what is your relation to don sweeney?

boston is second in the NHL in points. I don't think they really need to do anything, and center is probably second on their list.

Lindholm has sucked this year. vancouver paid up, and it didn't work. you're lying to yourself if you think they aren't taking a haircut if they move him, which they kinda have to do if they want Guentzel.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hobo</b></div><div>You can keep him, Bruins don't want him after holding out wanting a large multi year deal, then when he came back to the bruins realizing he wasn't getting that deal anywhere else, they said we have moved on.

I completely agree. I don't think he's worth the 5.5 either. I'd give him a $3.5 x 4 if he wanted to stay in Toronto, but not a penny more. He hasn't added enough of what he's being paid to do......he hasn't been gritty enough, and the point production is not where it should be.I'm hoping we see what we were supposed to see come playoff time. IF not, we'll let him walk.

And I know there's no chance in hell BOS moves Poitras LOL, esp for that return.

Thread: Everybody Wins
To take a step outside of the debate. I would say I actually agree with you in terms of Lindholm &amp; debatable on Hanifins value. When the trade was first speculated and discussed my initial value assessment was simply 1st round pick &amp; Lysell or Debrusk for Lindholm.

I’m a pens fan and would hate if a team that’s potential Stanley cup contenders like the Bruins (especially them actually) were to obtain the pieces they need to make a serious push. Assuming our team ever gets their **** together and actually starts showing up to even make it to the playoffs. I wouldn’t want a Boston Bruins team with Lindholm and Hanifin on the other side of the ice.

The point being I’m looking at this unbiasedly based on 3 major factors.

1) Boston focus on Lindholm as “their guy”

2) Calgarys firm stance on return value and what they feel that looks like (if it were up for discussion the deal would already be done)

3) the league wide attention a players like Lindholm &amp; Hanifin brings and the current status of several big names and the trade rumors and failing performances around them that create a lot of competition for Boston to win the sweepstakes.

Under normal circumstances and salary conditions I would actually agree with your assessment of value
