<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>I wonder how Van is regretting jumping early for Lindholm

They payed a tonne for him but hes not really done much to have earned it

21 gp 4 goals and assists

And when you factor in Duclair and Toffoli's production on their respected teams being around the same its like okay why</div></div>

Figured I’d look at stats and see if I’d find anything interesting:

The biggest difference between Calgary and Vancouver is Lindholm’s icetime being down 3 min a game. He’s lost about 40% of his power play time too.

He’s taking defensive zone draws at the highest rate of his career, although he isn’t an extreme case.

His 5v5 rate metrics are equivalent to Calgary, and he’s arguably been a better 5v5 player in Vancouver than Calgary, although it’s splitting hairs and uses a lot of stats I hate. Ultimately I’d judge him as a positive top 9 contributor for a contending team.

My guess: he just got a lot of really good opportunities in Calgary, and now that some are gone, he’s adjusting fine, but it looks really bad because his assist number, primarily driven by non-5v5 icetime in Calgary, is soft, as his 5v5 assist rates are essentially the same.

I bet the bigger impact on the team is less his individual contribution, more what he unlocks by chewing up icetime without huge liability, allowing for more selective use of various offensive players.

Sujet: My take for the offseason
Trade by trade:
Anderson is not worth a first, if he ever was, he's not anymore. Just based on what I understand about Hughes' style of trading players in and out, Anderson will get dealt 2-3 years from now, when we can retain half of his contract and not have that take up a retention slot for a quarter to half a decade, and that's if he can bounce back from this year and put up some points going forward.
Ylonen trade is fine in my opinion, unfortunately his days in Montreal are numbered. He haven't panned out the way you'd hope for a second round pick, moving him to another club makes a lot of sense.
Harris however is kinda the opposite of Ylonen, where he has panned out and established himself in the NHL, but his time in Montreal is coming to an end because we're too stacked at LHD, not because he's not performing well. He was a third round pick to begin with, he's worth a late second by himself, no extra pick necessary.
Barron still has time, and it's a little unfair to Harris to say that, but it is what it is. Montreal's depth at RHD is still so bad even after drafting Reinbacher that we actively can not afford to be shipping out RHD prospects. Just the trade by itself I think the value is fine, Jets fans probably disagree, but I don't see a world where Montreal trades Barron, unless they plan on drafting another RHD at 4-10 this year... Please dear god do not draft another D at 4-10 this year.
