not that its the point of the team but 9 million for lindholm even at 1 year is crazy

I absolutely was not, no.

For sure. I would be fine if they tried to do like 3 years at 7.5.we need a 2c for at least 2, probably 3 or 4 years. One year doesn’t cut it. I don’t hate the arvidson signing though

I mean, isn’t a bad Ducks trade but I wouldn’t do it

If you needed a 2C why didn't you put Zegras there? Would that not be the entire point of acquiring him?

Fair enough. I do think if the blues got him though they would want him with Thomas.

Blues decline I think

It’s not a bad trade I just don’t think they should right now

You can make a reasonable argument that Kyrou is an upgrade over Zegras and I'll assume for purposes of discussion that he is . . . as the Anaheim GM, I wouldn't make that incremental upgrade at the expense of losing a promising young defenseman; if I'm dealing Jackson LaCombe, it's to acquire a similar asset at RhD or RW.

To put it another way, the difference between our current bottom-5 status and playoff contention is more than the difference between Trevor Zegras and Jordan Kyrou. A lot more.
