Rebooted Around the League - 23/24

Lindholm getting $7.75 x 7

must not have been about money or fit.. assuming 7x7 rumours were true, I'm not sure why the Canucks wouldn't have done $7 x 8 if it was about money.

I don’t believe it was ever money for Lindholm, he didn’t seem completely ever sold on playing here from the get go.

Dude....researched quickly....BOTH Sherwood and Heinen are reported as good skaters.

And DeBrusk is a very good skater. Yes, I think that's a design to these moves.

Although, I have seen Sherwood more as a straight line "missile" skater than a truly excellent skater. Have not much more than the playoffs to base that on, hope to be wrong.

Still, it is all a little curious. Would have prioritized depth D over depth F. Expecting (hoping?) that they are done today and last move will be a poach.

Didn't want to be a 3rd line center.

Sherwood was a heat seeking missile vs us in the playoffs. Was in on the double team on Hughes.

Because Lindholm isn't worth that.

Debrusk 27YO, 40PTS last season, $5.5M
Lindhold 29YO, 44PTS last season, $7.75M

Canucks save over $2.2M, yes Lindholm is perceived as the better skilled player but his play has fallen in the past couple of seasons. I like Debrusk at a lower cap hit because it also means they had more cap space to sign other players.

Probably the deciding factor. He immediately becomes numero uno centre in Beantown

[Megaterio Llamas]

DeSmith to Dallas. $1 x 3.

[Megaterio Llamas]

We still need a righty on the blueline. Alexandre Carrier fits the bill imho.

We needed a top 6 winger. Blueger is ideal in the 3rd spot and him and Garland and Joshua played great as a unit.

We still need to do something with our back end as UW suggests.

Our current menagerie has Chaos as a top 4 and Forbort Juulsen as 5/6.

Do we need a righty? What about the 2nd pairing LHD? Who is that going to? Soucey? No thanks, he’s good on the 3rd pairing

Juuls can't be our third pairing right D Chef. He needs to be a fill in.

Soucy is a decent #2 lefty.

Ronny Francis doing the Trotz...

Yep, just saying it was clearly not about money
