To be safe we would make a divisional rival stronger for an off chance. if they take Lind I’m fine with that, mid we really really need the space we can buy him out before the 27th but I think we could flip him easily enough before then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can do that ourselves by trading him. There's apparently legit interest in Holtby from several teams. There is no point throwing away assets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t care if he goes to Seattle no one is stopping the Petey slapper tbh. I want him cleared stat idgaf where he goes tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are protecting the new guy, Dickinson, because he’s 5 years older than Lind? Dickinson is an NHL player. Lind isn't. Of course he could get there, but let's not pretend they're on par with each other right now. 1 2 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a guy on CDC a while ago who claimed he was connected to scouting. His "name" was a goaltender from a bit back, and his info said that Lind wouldn't be a regular NHL player. Anyone remember who I'm thinking of? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makaramel MacKhiato Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I'd give up a pick or 2 for Seattle to take Holtby. If he plays for them, it's free points for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no point throwing away assets. We have no idea what that interest entails though - they could all include us retaining salary, which as been reported, for all we know. Obviously if teams are willing to pay to take Holtby’s full salary that’s what I’d prefer - but I doubt it. I hope Seattle takes him and I’m okay if JB tosses in a sweetener to push it along.

I don't know if they want a late pick or a prospect as well. I would rather they make a list and take the loss and move on. Every team is losing a player.

No no Alf, we want Seattle to take Holtby purely because of cap space and because Dickinson is filling out 3C/4C role! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM_ Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 well, interesting. I thought maybe they would pick Lind over Gadj's. I like that we're taking the gamble on keeping the tougher player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Canuck #12 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Is Lind's future potential not greater than Motte's though? May turn out to be a mistake protecting Motte over Lind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
