Lindholm 2

CGY can't retain... they're strapped too.
Drop the retention, add a late-to-mid-round pick, and you've got a deal.

That won't work for Boston in both cap and value. Oh well!

CGY def cant/shouldnt retain half on Lindholm, if they did the package would have to be better

wouldnt mind adding a late round pick, but CGY would have to take back some more cap for it to work (Forbs/Zboril)

I dunno…that’s a better package than Horvat got and they are the same tier of player. On the open market a couple million in retention has been worth a 3rd. Perhaps that is the route with a 3rd team because I don’t think the Bruins can move Forbort despite his faults. Not sure how accepting Forbort is different to Calgary than the retention, unlike Boston they don’t need him to fill the top 6.
