Les Canucks pourraient être hantés par l’échange de Lindholm pendant des années – The Hockey Writers Dernières nouvelles, analyses et plus sur les transactions des Canucks
I still don’t know how we got such a massive haul for Lindy. If you consider the potential of flipping Kuz at the deadline too, this just becomes fast and furious level highway robbery.

And yet the delusion that it was somehow worth it still seems to remain with Canucks fans. « At the time, it was a good idea…etc. ». The winner/loser of a trade often takes time to evaluate, but it only took six months for this one.

Its the type of move that isn’t rebuked enough when it happens. Justifying bad trades when you’re a contender is easy, but if they start to slide it will be be harder for the fanbase to ignore such an inexcusable overpay.

With a healthy Demko, Vancouver probably makes the finals. Lindholm was solid for them in the playoffs.
They gave up too much, but I get why they did it. They geared up for a run, and dumped Kuzmenko’s salary for the following year, and they didn’t want him.
This trade tree is gonna look crazy in a few years.

Not re-signing Lindholm sucks. But, from the sounds of it, Brzustewicz didn’t want to sign. We had no interest in signing Jurmo, Kuzy wasn’t a fit, and the 1st was like 28 or something. It’s not a huge loss. If we had Demko, we might have done what Edmonton did. Maybe. Sometimes, you take a swing and miss. Oh well. If it comes to Calgary’s benefit, I won’t lose sleep.

The Dougie Hamilton Trade Tree is going to be an epic one in a few years.

As a Canucks fan, this article should be renamed “oilers could be haunted”. Trade was great for both of our teams. Canucks got within one win from a western conference final. Who knows how far a healthy Canucks team with Petterson being able to use both knees, Demko, and brock Boeser could have gone.
For Calgary, we accelerated their rebuild, they got a haul from us. Canucks got a playoff run to help them believe they can take on anyone in the west.
Win win for both of our teams, lose-lose for the oilers, I think both of our teams can be happy about that.

Vancouver got within a win of the conference final. They didn’t surrender anything in the trade that affects their current window. Their mistake was in having no plan to retain Lindholm.

We’re forgetting here that the Canucks weren’t expected to make the playoffs. Being 1 game away from the conference finals with a broken and injured team is a MASSIVE win for Vancouver. Let’s not forget also that Lindholm scored an OT goal in the first round. May have been an overpay, but all of the pieces we gave were likely to be useless to us.
Chances are that Calgarys window will be opening when ours will be closing or already closed, so I would not be upset if Calgary became competitive with the pieces we gave.
