Had fun armchair GM'ing this afternoon:

Resign Krebs/Luukkonen for cheap
Sign Lindholm and Skjei
Trade Mitts, a 2nd and Clifton (cap dump) for Crouse

Skinner Tage Tuch
Peterka Lindholm Quinn
Crouse Cozens Benson
Greenway Krebs Kulich
Rosen

Dahlin RyJo
Power Sammy
Skjei Joker

UPL
Levi

We could roll 4 lines and all 3 d-pairings potentially. Good, bad or ugly?

Going from Mitts to Lindholm is a downgrade.

Lindholm is a fine player, but pretty overrated

It's only a downgrade in the sense that Lindholm is 4 years older. Lindholm is the better player, easily.

More name recognition, but when you look under the hood I take the Mittelstadt of the last year and a half.

Even more so once you consider the age factor which you alluded to.

Nope. It’s good as in “Buffalo Good,” meaning we think it’s good until we watch a real team play and then we can see that we suck.

Edit- there were a few on here recently who would not include cozens or some other prospects in a deal for mc Jesus or draistatl.

Like seriously.
- Da_Cashman

I’d include Cozens and or other prospects for less than McJesus or Draisaitl

As of this moment- I’d rather keep Casey long term and make a trade involving Cozens.

Cozens, Mitts, Sammy, Savoie
For
McDavid.

Who beats that offer?

Lindholm helps in every facet of the Game, Mitts does not.

I don't get why Lindholm's name comes up at all. He's a C. Someone will overpay and it won't be KA.

Because he would be a very good fit. The guy can play in any situation, plus he's really good on the Dot.

I've wanted Crouse for a few years, unfortunately I think that ship sailed.

I don't see the fit, at all.
- Lunaion

Why ?

Where does Kulich fit in this lineup if we sign
mitts, benson makes the team, Quinn and Tage are healthy. He’s not a 4th line player, never will be. He’s the most expendable for high return IMO

Why ?
- Buff36

They don't need a top 9 C, maybe not a C at all. Like I said, can't imagine KA overpaying for one.

Who cracks the top 9 is a big question. Wouldn't assume Kulich is the odd man out. He has the potential to be better than most of them.

If the trade is for Lindholm and Andersson I would think some of that C Depth would probably be going the other way. Lindholm would be the perfect 2C/3C that can provide the perfect 200ft game these young kids can learn from. He's a perennial Selke vote getter, he would be are Peca at this point.

You know he's UFA, right? KA trading for someone and getting an extension? It's out there.

Yes I know, only thing that might make the price not Ridiculous. If your making a trade for both those players you are gonna pay. Andersson alone is gonna cost a 1st Top Prospect and probably another pick or B Prospect just to get the Conversation started. Lindholm would be the perfect add to this Hockey Team and I would want a Extension in place but it wouldn't kill a deal IMO. If we are trying to get to the playoffs right now, he is a good start.

Well, they aren't pushing for the playoffs this year. Sad, but true.

Would he even want to extend here as a 3C? I don't see it.

With all the picks + Krebs and Cozens/Mitts, 3C is coming internally. It's the strongest position in the organization.

Don't know, and we shall see if C is a strong point in the Organization. And Mitts is a UFA and is gonna cost to.

This is the same KA that extended Girgs and Jost instead of trying to improve.

I think the time was last summer. We got Clifton.

I wouldn't expect much change, 4th line, maybe a G (depending on how Levi + UPL do).
