Is this possible

Why is Lindholm worth 6.75m and seven years?

Because teams don’t look at just one year where he was traded and didn’t play well as the baseline for compensation. If they did, Vancouver would have tried to dump JT Miller and Brock Boeser who returned to form. its why Sweeney didn’t overreact when Marchand and Pastrnak had poor relative years recently

He’s been a full time starter since 2018 and has 3 very good years, 2 good ones, and then this past year. He fits the system and Sweeney tried to acquire him from two teams with an extension being a condition of the deal if you believe Elliot Friedman

Fully understood why Boston shouldn’t have traded limited assets for him, but I’d be stunned if Sweeney doesn’t pursue him in the offseason and I expect that would be the floor for Lindholm. I expect him to get 7M AAV

With regards to the Swayman deal, that seems to be a massive risk especially at his age and contract. They don’t need to do that if they want to keep Ullmark.

Right, but how can it be done and STILL acquire either Lindholm or Hanafin? I’ve tried with bringing up Merkulov and Lysell instead of signing depth pieces but that’s also a big risk!

Lindholm and Fischer are garb, not worth the money

Hope Heinen gets paid, but not in BOS

Theyd be silly to run it back with the goalie tandem again, get value for Ullmark while you can, plus they have 2 solid goalies in Providence, cant just let them rot there forever
