Ilya Mikheyev Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 As much as I want Lind to succeed, he didn't look ready to make the jump in his short NHL stint. Still a small chance Seattle takes Holtby - a Driedger Holtby combo isn't out of the question. Altho with Carey Price potentially exposed..

Holtby is Seattle’s best value from us, but it depends how quickly they wanna be a contender. Isn't Lind waiver eligible as well? He might lose some of his appeal if Seattle knows there's significant risk in them losing him for nothing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

combover Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 (edited) Regardless if we lose Lind Gad or Mac Seattle is getting a solid young player that still has potential. inevitable we weren’t going to be able to protect all our younger assets so it is what it is. the Pearson signing is still a Weird one for me rather protect another youth he (Pearson) was replaceable Fingers crossed they take holtby.

Thats stupid because we can get rid of boat anchor eriksson with that pick or 2 who has higher cap hit than Holtby. Seattle will get Holtby withot any added assets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather they make a list and take the loss and move on. Every team is losing a player. so we retain on Holtby, give prospects and picks and still look for a backup goalie that will end up basically at similar cap hit as Holtby while giving up assets and no change in cap. I mean what would be the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holtby at 4 mil is not some huge anchor like eriksson at 6 mil. A reliable backup in free agency will also cost 3 mil or more minimum, not like we will save 4 million. I doubt you can find a 1 million dollar goalie in free agency that is as reliable as Holtby or as experienced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dickinson is one of the best defensive forwards in the entire NHL. Obviously he can help us right now. What exactly can Lind do for us?

DownUndaCanuck Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I doubt Seattle will use us to fill their AHL roster when they could pick Holtby. Drieger is far from a starting goalie but could have a nice mentor/mentee relationship with Holtby. They would be stupid to take Price at 10M who has only been playing .500 hockey the last two seasons with a save % of 0.901 last year. I do wonder about Gadjovic though and who else we may need to expose but Holtby is by far the BPA from us. If we lose Lind though, we trade Holtby to a team (for example Chicago), may retain some cap if it's a cap-tight team, but could get a decent player back (for example, Zadorov) so at the end of the day it's Lind + Holtby for Zadorov + expansion loss = not bad.
