Sujet: Lindholm Prove It Deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>Miller was not playing to his level last year. He was not a plus defender after a career of being one. Hai defensive efficiency metrics were in the bottom third, which is an absolute anomaly, fans were openly talking about sending him to Pittsburgh despite his history

Using the point per game status was how fans of other teams discounted Patrice Bergeron. Outside of this year, Lindholm has been a very good two way center whose advanced stats were extremely good,

He’s struggled this year. 100% acknowledged. If he would have been acquired in free agency last offseason, the deal would have been lauded and he would have been viewed as the missing piece. It’s one year.

What you or I think is irrelevant. It’s what Sweeney thinks which matters. I will say that Don tends to focus on his own evaluations rather than fit within their previous system. It’s one of the reasons I believe Lindholm is more likely than not at this point. Things change. See Hanifin.</div></div>

all good points, I just hope he doesn't feel a pressure to sign Lindholm to address the C position. he's absolutely nailed some offseason signings but also made some mistakes, i think Lindholm would fit and has a similar style to what would compliment the group but as you said things change and FA is still aways away.

Sujet: Lindholm Prove It Deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>The real question is whether this year is a blip like JT Miller last year or if it is a sign of decline. Last year, cap friendly was all about how JT was an albatross and he returned to form.

We have one of the best GM’s in the league whose latest moves have pretty much all been very good. I trust his judgment.

I do think we have the opportunity to bring in a star player and before this year, Lindholm would have been most people’s top choice. One bad year doesn’t disqualify years of very good two way play, but it probably warrants some understandable pause.

Things change, but Sweeney has been trying to acquire him. And Friedman reported one of the reasons that Vancouver beat out Boston was Sweeney wanted to lock him in long term before giving up limited assets. He also reported that they would be in line if he made it to free agency. I believe Boston will be at the front of the line.

There are other forward options if you believe Zacha is a center. He’s certainly been playing well since the trade deadline</div></div>

MIller since coming over from Tampa has been a point a game player, Lindholm on the other hand hasn't always been to that level. and not that they need to be offensive juggernauts but Lindholm best years came with some pretty high end wingers but is pretty average without them. i think he's a fine player but for me my concern is the age of the player and the length of contract we're going to give out to him.

Sujet: if we keep most of the roster in tact well probably keep Ully
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sens65</b></div><div>You could offer DeBrusk a million less than that and he'd still go for it.

You could also go with 2 scratches instead of 4 which frees up another 1.5 million.

And the cap is probably going up to 87.7 not 87 million. So that's another 700k right there.

Which leaves you with $4.9 million of cap space to add another player. And if you do get another player with that money that subtracts one player from the roster who will lose his spot to the new guy.

So after all that, you can spend another $5.7 million on a player even with Ullmark staying.</div></div>

ya for sure, the reason i'm carrying an extra scratch (4 instead of 3) is whether or not Boston elects to try and slide Bussi through waivers or not. i don't see them carrying three goalies but who knows. they may have extra money but it's where will they use it.. if you don't sign OEL you can take a run at Hanifin but then does that block Lorhei long term. I don't know if the value Elias Lindholm anymore over zacha and coyle so unless they can trade for a #1 center i suspect they may stay status quo for the season.
