Thread: Continuing the Sale Process
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MyTeamsSuck</b></div><div>Not really, Bruz is a better prospect than Lohrei imo, and has the higher upside, then you add a late first (similar to Vancouvers) and a C-B prospect. Not nearly as high of a return as the Lindy trade.</div></div>

I think you misunderstood my post. You're saying that the comp to acquire Hanfin (a left-handed dmen) is the same as the cost to acquire Lindholm (a centerman). The reality is that centers go for a premium, especially 1st line centers. If CGY can get the same deal for Hanifin that they got for Lindholm then they 100% are taking someone to the cleaners.

As for the rest of your post. Lohrei was top 10 in NCAA scoring among d-men last season and played all-situations. He played between the AHL (nearly a PGP player) &amp; NHL this season. He's a 6'4 smooth skating d-man that's a converted forward, but still decent defensively. Both guys are projected to be top 4 d-men if they hit their ceiling.

Thread: (CGY/VAN) - Lindholm for Kuzmenko, Brzustewicz, Jurmo, 2024 1st (VAN), 2024 4th (VAN)
I'd say this deal is fair and similar to what Vancouver got for Horvat last year. The concerns I'd have if I were Calgary....

- Who is the real Kuzmenko? Last year he led the league in S% and nearly netted 40 goals. This year he's not even tracking for 40 points. He'll be a UFA after next season and if his production stay where it is now, he's not going to have much trade value and likely bolts for more money in the KHL.

- Jurmo &amp; Brzustewicz are both projects, who (based on reports) need to work on their game in their own end. These guys are still likely 2-3 years away from even sniffing the CGY line-up.

In the end both teams got what they were looking for/needed in a deal. I just think 5-6 years from now we'll look back on this and say CGY doesn't have much to show from dealing Lindholm.

Thread: Trade Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>Only if the team isn't using LTIR and has been accruing salary.

Let's assume you aren't going to send him in the division for obvious reasons

NYR is set at LD, as is Philly, Carolina. Pittsburgh doesn't have the cap, washington won't be buying rentals. Islanders will be looking for a righty.
Anaheim, Seattle, Calgary, SJS, Chi, Minnesota, STL not buying.

VGK LAK Van and Winnipeg are set on the left, Edmonton is capped out. Nashville doesn't have a need.
Dallas would need to move out salary. Colorado doesn't have cap space and has other needs.

Will AZ be buying and willing to send out a 3rd for Gryz? Are the islanders gonna shell out their cap space and a 3rd on Gryz?</div></div>

Time will tell. :cool
