Trading a first for a goalie having a career year at 30 after being an AHL bum for most of his career seems kinda risky

God no god no god now. Do not pay more than a 4th for lindgren

He hasn't even been good since like december

Maybe but I’m not a fan of moving Holtz for a 34 year old goalie in Markstrom

You could have lindgren for like a 4th

Haven’t you learned your lesson with trading for caps goalies?

If so then why wouldn’t Fitzy have done that already. Changed it to Schmid and a 2nd

Go look at Lindgren’s numbers since January and since December and get back to me

I guarantee there better than our guys. With slightly better goaltending, we’d easily be in WC if not spot 3 rn

LOL no you can't. It's going to be a 1st to get him within the division. It will be 2nd+ at the very least.

Throw in Nico and yeah I think the Caps would consider...

Caps wouldn't move him for a 4th what are you talking about? They won't trade him anyway, Dowd neither. They might move him (them) as expiring contracts next year I think...if they get an overpay though, sure.

Ned from Pitt
Figure the G out in theSummer (Saros, Marhstrom Bruins Gs etc)

This move wouldn’t prevent that. At worst, we’d have one of the best backups in the league

you very cannot lmfao

The Cinderella run is over, he’s been dog**** since new years. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him on waivers at some point. 30 year old career AHLer goes back to AHL wouldn’t be shocking headlines

Lindgrens been significantly worse than Vitek since new years. In shocking news the 30 year old who’s never been great in either the AHL or NHL sucks again

Lindgren has been worse than Vanacek since new years. His overall season numbers are still riding off a strong start but he hasn’t looked good in a while. He’s an AHL goalie man

Charlie Lindgren is a 30 year AHL goalie who hasn’t been good for months now. Let it go, the dream is over.

He’s more likely to hit waivers this year than fetch a 2nd

At worst you’d have an AHL sub .900 goalie.

Look at lindgrens career numbers, look at his numbers since December, since January. He had a few good games to start the year but he’s not the answer or worth giving up anything meaningful for

LMAO I hope to goodness Caps trade him now just to prove you wrong. 10th in GSAA, 5th (!!!!!!) in GSAA per 60 minutes. Absolute jock you think he's an AHL goalie. Just blanked the best team in the league on Saturday, but yeah, just a AHL goalie. Ridiculous.

Since December:
Vitek: -0.88 GSAx, 0.903
Lindgren: 0.81 GSAx, 0.898

Since January:
Lindgren: -2.26 GSAx, 0.885
Vitek: 0.76 GSAx, 0.907

I'd rather put vitek in net for the rest of the season, and that says a lot. He's playing better right now and his historical level of play is that of a quality starter, while Lindgrens is that of an AHL backup

This move instead of that is the point

Also if we’re gonna move for a goalie can we have it be one who hasn’t played at the exact same level/worse than Vanacek for the last 2.5 months?

I’d legitimately rather have Vitek going forward. Lindgren was a nice story to start the year. I wouldny be shocked in the slightest if he’s back in the AHL by this time next year

I love looking at players in month sections. Do that for any player they will suck. Here I'll give you whole season stats for you, not just months:

Saros: -6.8GSAA -0.177GSAA/60
Gustavsson: -1.5GSAA -0.054GSAA/60
Hart: -0.7GSAA -0.029GSAA/60
Shesterkin: 0.7GSAA 0.022GSAA/60
Sorokin: 3.5GSAA 0.096GSAA/60
Thompson: 3.5GSAA 0.117GSAA/60
Vasilevskiy: 5.0GSAA 0.181GSAA/60
Lindgren: 9.8GSAA 0.459GSAA/60

I guess all those guys would get 4th round picks because they had a bad month?
