Thread: Tough to play against
TSN (via LeBrun through the Athletic) has a post about Vancouver planning to push hard to keep Lindholm, and they very well should. . . . He's a great player and they spent substantially to acquire him. But I wanted to ask any Vancouver fans how they feel about it. (?) He's a pretty comparable player to the guy they couldn't make fit (or refused to) not too long ago, captain Bo Horvat, and I want to know if it frustrates the fan base at all. (?)

It's likely Lindholm could get close to the same $$$ amount on the open market that Horvat signed for with the NYI. I guess that's the difference between being competitive or not, it sure changes decision-making in a hurry but in a big way. While not a fan of Vancouver (even though I live here), I really like Horvat, and couldn't believe (at the time) that the Canucks were committing to Miller and moving on from their captain, but that's the business I suppose.

Thread: New Buch Trade Cause why not
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>StDetroitBlueWings</b></div><div>I've just heard they could be looking into adding more firepower and Buch could provide that for sure. I'd like to see Goyette and Dvorsky wear the blue note together after seeing how well they played together with Sudbury... then to get Musty from SJ somehow to complete the entire line lmao</div></div>


Yeah, Seattle adding firepower is the word, for sure. I just think Francis is still reluctant to trade prospects or substantial picks to do it. 8th overall is a little rich, especially, though the picks "swap" lessens it. But with the interesting names coming available on the UFA market, I think he goes that route. Also, just my opinion, it really doesn't seem like Francis is keen on Russian players, even from his time in Carolina.

Thread: Leafs - Running it back
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>draft_em_sign_em_trade_em</b></div><div>Daccord is capable of playing 30 games top, expecting him to play 60 games is pure craziness.</div></div>

50 games for Daccord last season, but sure. Sorry, is Woll being the starter your plan, or are you a beLeafer that a Marner trade will produce the bonafide starter Leafs desire??

<em>I would agree that Seattle fans need to be cautious not to anoint Daccord the starter too soon, but <strong>(like the Leafs)</strong> Seattle has had disappointing goaltending since arriving on the scene, and as they have likely made their bed with that horrible Grubauer contract, Daccord holds tremendous value to the team and it makes ZERO sense to trade the only goalie who has performed well thus far. </em> prev post.

Thread: Leafs - Running it back
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>draft_em_sign_em_trade_em</b></div><div>I can see Tre trading for a goalie, it's a theme he did with the Flames trading 3rd Rd'ers (M. Smith, B. Elliott, D. Vladar) but you'd have to find a backup goalie. I have said Daccord from the same Kraken team you traded with, but the Krakheads seem to over value the late blooming 1 yr wonder.</div></div>

That's a rich statement . . . I've heard some pretty bold takes on Woll's "value" that far exceed optimism given his small sample size of play, also. I would agree that Seattle fans need to be cautious to anoint him too soon, but (like the Leafs) Seattle has had disappointing goaltending since arriving on the scene, and as they have likely made their bed with Grubauer, he holds tremendous value and it makes ZERO sense to trade the only goalie who has performed well thus far.
