Thread: Deal or no deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheMooterus</b></div><div>Disagree. Stars are overpaying here. Is Lindell overpaid? Yes. Is he still a top-4 LD? Yes. Trading a good (not great), shutdown, top-4 LD &amp; a bottom-6 winger for another bottom-6 winger (DeBrusk) &amp; a bottom pair LD (Zboril) doesn't make sense for Dallas, especially when you take into account the good amount of cap space they have past this season.</div></div>

Lindell is a Top-4 D in Dallas and with that coaching staff. IMO and based on what he is on the ice, he is a third pair D.

Lindell looked OK in the past because he was elevated by Klingberg and now by Miro.

He is a highly overrated D and this will continue in time with the league continuing to get faster and younger.

We should jump on any opportunity to get rid of that contract…If we can since Nill gave a NMC to Lindell. Why did he do that is beyond me.

Thread: Stars rebuild
- Lindell is overrated (but better this year) &amp; is heavily reliant on his Defensive partner for any kind of puck movement. There's a reason Klingberg handles the puck nearly every time they are on the ice together
- Suter isn't going anywhere. Would love for him to be gone, but no GM (outside of Jim Nill) brings on a 36-year old for 4 years with a full NMC attached to his contract
- Benn &amp; Seguin hit against the cap too much for any team to trade for them, especially in this dead cap era we're slowly working our way out of.
- Bishop doesn't waive for Edmonton

With guys like Hintz, Heiskanen, Gurianov, Robertson, Harley, Oettinger, etc., Dallas doesn't need a "rebuild." Retooling by trading guys like Pavelski, Radulov, Holtby, and even Klingberg (extremely hesitant to trade Klingberg) is more than enough, given where this team stands with the young core they have in place.
