Sujet: Having Lindholm
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NoDeke</b></div><div>I Like Lindholm alot, but I don't put him in that category. Maybe if he only signs a 3-4 year contract im down with that $8M. But to me $7M at the very max over 5-8 years.
Do you believe Mastro and Wally are actually going to be key cog to our future. They will be good players but man I dont see a place for them. Maybe Wallinder</div></div>

Not all of our prospects will pan out. But like Yzerman says, the more kicks we have at the can the better chances we have of hitting on them. Lindholm is 28 years old, right in his prime. He's a pending UFA and will get paid. Guys like him don't grow on trees. But we're too early in a rebuild to be fast tracking things. I don't believe in trading prospects just for the sake of trading them.

Sujet: What makes it happen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NoDeke</b></div><div>They have an extra 3rd so I feel that’s gone for someone like radulov or kessel. Cuz like May as well add a vet fwd for cheap. I don’t see why the preds need defense? Is it just because of recent Injuries? Like the preds have lots of defensemen in the AHL that can fill the void for a bit.</div></div>

NSH's 3rd pair (Borowiecki and Benning) are both on IR. Myers has been inconsistent. Harpur has been playing like... well, Ben Harpur. There's decent potential in the A, but not a lot of experience. David Poile does love adding a big, slow, bottom pairing defenceman at every deadline.

Rads looks pretty washed. Can't see him holding down a top six role, NSH doesn't want to mess with the 3rd (Herd) line, and they're not hurting for 4th line wingers. Adding Kessel wouldn't hurt, but I can't see Radulov being of any help.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NoDeke</b></div><div>Its so true, i hope the young guys on Dallas are good enough to be a 3rd line soon cuz it would really help. I wonder if Nill has any tricks up his sleeve, i feel shedding radulov is a perfect opportunity to possible beef up the team. other than that not sure what ya do. Would trading Faska now somehow pay off now and in the long term? the whole klingberg things is an F show.</div></div>

Radulov's contract is luckily expiring this year so he's not going to be a "burden" for long. He was good, but he's clearly past his prime.

Klingberg situation is interesting. He's been a part of our core for over half a decade now, as it's natural he'd expect to get the same treatment as Benn and Seguin did in terms of their contracts, which were handed out to them immediately after the last year of it started. But with Klingberg they realized that A) Seg's and Benn's contracts are mistakes that started to hurt them before long and B) they need that money to ink our younger (and now better) talent in Heiskanen and Hintz in the past and now with Robertson and Oettinger this coming offseason. Klingberg, quite naturally, took this a bit personally, thinking that he's not appreciated enough to get signed with big money contract. At the end of the day Klingberg wants to commit somewhere for the rest of his career, but DAL also needs him this year for the playoff run, and Klingberg still seems to want to stay in Dallas. I think he'll end up as our own rental, but there are no winners in this situation where they've ended up. Only losers.

As for trading Faksa...I like the guy and what he brings to our bottom-6, but he's too expensive for the role. I'd be open to move him.
