Lind is probably going to be better than any player they get out of a deal like that. I know it's the "trendy" thing to do, but I can't think of a more ridiculous thing for JB to do. Ride it out and keep.the pick(s) and prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(they have alot of playoff experience on that team and could get an easy draw in first round like Toronto) They’re also relying on old players to play an awful lot of hockey after a run to game 7 of the Cup last year. I mean a first round exit doesn’t seem likely but seeing so many people call them Cup favorites because they’ve had a successful regular season seems like a major stretch.

Doesn't matter if he can never crack the Canucks lineup. I think we will eventually have to trade either Virtanen or Lind for some help on RD. Our biggest needs are RD and cap space if we can improve both in one transaction it makes the most sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I hate them to my core, Bergeron is very good come playoff time, Rask is looking good this year, and Pasta is having an MVP caliber year.

Why would they have to trade Lind or Virt? like Kind can play bottom 6 or top 6, he's very versatile.......I'm pretty sure they can, and will, find a spot for him. JB knows what he's doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Haha, funny how this turned into a Loui thread. Kase was really the only bright spot on the Ducks, and the Bruins of all teams get him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB knows what he's doing Lind I dont see as being a fit on the fourth line, more top 9. He would have to pass two of Boeser, Toffoli, Podkolzin, and Virtanen imo, with the assumption we resign Toffoli which might not happen. Green has been very reluctant to play scoring winger on their off side as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKSR Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 People here are saying this is the cost to get rid of Loui, but remember, this is also Boston acquiring Kase. He's not exactly just a player dump... he's an actual legit player that in the right circumstances would be a Top 6 forward. If Boston received a 4th line plug back, the cost wouldn't have been nearly as expensive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it's up for discussion but imho Backes offers more as a player than Loui. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
