Sujet: Lindholm Trades Ranked By What I Would Want To See

Make your own mind up, I think I'd rather have KK though</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>perrystreett</b></div><div>I like Lindholm but this seems like a lot. I see him as a good 2C</div></div>

He's a lower end 1C. But ACGM does collectively overrate his value. He turns 30 this season so giving a good- not great- player a massive long term deal makes no sense for ascending teams like BUF. BOS or WSH just trying to get a few good years left sure.

Longer thoughts on the Wilson deal.

Is Wilson a good player? Yes. Even going on just his boxcars and not accounting for his physical presence he is a good complimentary top 6 forward. Is 6.5m fair in the near term? Probably, its a slight overpay for a good winger that isn't necessarily a driver themselves but certainly not egregious. Will it be an overpay in the long term (years 4-7)? Almost certainly. Will the Caps be good enough then to the point that one slightly bad contract would cripple them? Also almost certainly not. Is Wilson a fan favorite and leader in the locker room, destined to be the next captain? Absolutely.

A lot of national writers and stats guys have put this contract instantly in the Lucic/Clarkson category as one of the worst in the entire league. If the Caps were trying to maximize value (whatever that means) then yes, it is a bad deal they shouldn't have given out. This deal absolutely fits with their timeline though, and as a fan I'd much rather watch a bad team with Wilson on it than a bad team without Wilson on it. I think of this one as really similar to the Oshie deal. The front end was more fruitful and held its value for a lot longer than people expected and while the back end (last year to the end of his deal) is definitely not great, it's not the kind of contract that kills your ability to ice a competitive team going forward.

At the end of the day, I'm going to enjoy watching Ovi, Backy, Carlson, and Wilson play together and that is what sports is all about.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>perrystreett</b></div><div>I can totally see a Hoffman retained and Mantha swap, thought I’d prefer not to do it. The caps do need to save cap but i can’t see them giving up Mantha and NAK and a pick for a retained Hoffman and what appears to be not much other value (thought maybe they are better prospects than they appear)</div></div>

Archibald and Aube-Kubel had the same 12 points, albeit Archibald got it in 9 more games. That swap alone for points at least opens up $300K in cap. I understand the defensive side, but Archibald is kind of a complimentary energy guy with some upside. Lot of people value Rohrer pretty high(I don't see a spot for him on the Habs, but he'd easily make a run for the show on the Caps). As I noted before, that 3rd could easily become a 4th+5th, and Myers can be removed opening $4.4M instead of $3M.
