it’s sad we got the worst player of the 3. and we paid a lot for him too. calgary clearly won the trade and it’s not close

I’m curious to see if Tocchet put him back with Petey on the 1st after Joshua comes back, I feel like he’s not particularly suited to the 3rd Line Centre position

Don’t worry guys Lindy is just saving his saving his energy for the playoffs!
That said, you won’t hit every homerun and Allvin should still be in consideration for best GM of the year.

I think we’ll appreciate him much more when the Lotto line reforms (I assume in the playoffs) and we need a 2C. But yeah been a bit annoying (but like in an « I’m happy for him » way lol) to see Tofu find immediate chemistry in WPG but not that surprising. The rumours of « its just the Jack Hughes of it all » were greatly exaggerated

I think people forget that we got Lindholm to fill a need. Both Toffoli and Guentzel are high caliber offensive wingers, similar but better to what we already had in Kuzy. Lindholm is a not flashy defensive-minded Center who excels at draws – something this team was missing. Sure we paid a premium, but Lindholm still certainly better suits the gaps we needed to fill

I mean, Horvat is on pace for a career year. Sometimes it just takes time.

Well, we did t need a spare gunslinger as we have a few weapons ourselves. We needed someone to stop the bleeding, and he is certainly helpful there. The points will come, I’m just happy we can run 4 lines and stand with anyone.

Flames fan here. I was really hoping Lindy would work out well for you guys, but I’m honestly not super surprised it’s going this way. Ever since Tkachuk and Gaudreau left he’s been drastically declining, and this year it just seemed like his give-a-damn was gone entirely. I don’t know if he’s regressed or simply having difficulty finding that next gear again, but here’s hoping he is able to find some level of his old production for you.

Sean Monahan is also playing better than Elias Lindholm. What a steal for Toffoli. A mere second and third round pick for him.

You can’t blame Lindholm. There are several factors not exactly working at the moment. Joshua’s absence seems to be a particular problem right now.

I agree Lindholm has been bad, but our blazing start has given us the luxury to be patient and wait for things to gel without panicking. I’m not gonna cast judgement on the trade until after the playoff run (however long it may be)

Enough with the Lindholm shitting already.

I want to see hime with Joshua and Garland first. Those 2 wingers have chemistry and can sustain offence and I think a legit centre would be a huge boost

im sure they would swap position in the table too

Probably Allvin’s 2nd bad move after Dickinson.
