LeBrun: ‘No one could match package Vancouver put together for Lindholm’
TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun joins SC with Jay Onrait to break down how the trade between the Canucks and Flames came together and explain why moving Elias Lindholm continues a roster reset for Calgary.
Jim Rutherford drafted Lindholm. Dont be surprised to hear an extension on a team friendly deal. He wants a cup, we all want a cup. Rutherford is a proven winner.
Giving up a first rounder is risky, but you have to understand the mentality in Vancouver. In the league over 50 years and zero cups. With a legitimate shot this year, they gotta go all in. Playing it safe for over 5 decades has got them diddly squat
My problem with these kinds of deals is that it could be bad for the team if the guy who gets traded for 5 "assets" let's it go to his head. However it could be the best thing to have happened to bring an end to the Kuzmenko saga. We will find out.
I dont see how sean monahan is a difference maker on a contending team. In a vacuum I guess his value is ~a 1st round pick… but the role he plays on montreal…. any contending team has that player already, so the value their getting in picking him up is closer to middle six forward than top 6 forward. Lindholm atleast you have the defensive aspects of his game in addition to any offensive skills
A 1st for Monahan ??!!! Never ina million years. Whoever does pay that is an Insane Indiotic GM. I wouldnt give no high than a 3rd for him idc what his AAV is..
people are dumb looking at points for lindholm this season.. calgary has been terrible. no one has any points. i think this is a great trade for canucks. lindholm is like a mid-spec full size truck, reliable.. but not unnecessary complex for things to go wrong, who need lane assist anyway?
it's 2024, can TSN youtube FINALLY start balancing their audio levels for the rest of youtube? i can listen to almost everything else on 20% volume~ and hear it word for word and then this shit i have to max at 100 to barely hear the conversation. (also y'all don't do good subtitles so i can't even read the video…)
I wish the Leaf's had a real GM like Calgary and Vancouver have. Those guys know how to do their jobs. Treliving has done nothing since training camp. Everyone knows they needed an upgrade on defense and Treliving (chose) to neglect his duty to make the team better. If the Leaf's don't make the playoffs then this weak man needs to be fired. When he was GM of Calgary he let their franchise player walk for free and then traded their other star player for lemons. Where the hell is this guy hiding?

Flames wins big time. Lindholm is basically 2024's version of OEL. Overrated, overpaid, aging average player.

Lindholm 2023-2024
Cal GP 49 G 9 A 23 P 32

Damn I was hearing rumours about him coming to the Oilers..

That first rounder hurts
If the Canucks bring up the orher Elias Pettersson, they will have a ThreElias on the roster. Can’t go wrong with that!!😃😃
Now get tanev bring the man home
way over paid big time
Crazy to think flames went down hill so fast after what mcdavid did to them after that playoffs. So many people traded
Then they must now have been getting many offers…

1st round losers
Montreal will get more then a first now due to the circumstances lol first and a top prospect
LeBrun is correct.
Calgary won this trade
