Show me where you are finding leverage on BOS side?
You need a top 6 center.
Good luck finding that.
You will pay the 1st and Lysell.
Stop being a homer thinking you can get without giving.
You over here crying about a late 1st round pick like it has some grand value... it's not a top 10 pick.
It's a bottom 10 pick. Odds it even become an NHL player is less than 40%
right on schedule for the, "you disagree with me in a logical way....HOMER!"
here's the leverage: keep him. done.
lets start off with the basics here. deadline rentals don't get a first with a teams top two prospects. ever. disagree? give me one comparable. lets save some time though and just both agree that conceptually, that just does not happen in the NHL because it does not happen in the NHL.
now lets move onto this situation. vancouver wants to do something. they can't do it without boston, or some other team bailing them out of their mistake. Boston, and every other team has watched lindholm absolutely stink up the joint to the point where they are allegedly desperate to get rid of him. Here's how these sitautions tend to work: teams present vancouver with a lowball final offer, and walk away. If vancouver wants to go get guentzel, they take the deal. if they don't, they keep lindholm. Fin.
oh, and boston is doing just fine with the centers they have.....and lindholm is currently playing worse than all of them. and first round picks have value. weird that you don't know that.
