RWJC Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Updates On Jake Guentzel, Elias Lindholm March 5th, 2024 at 3:39pm CST • By Brennan McClain One month ago, the Vancouver Canucks acquired forward Elias Lindholm from the Calgary Flames in a trade to bolster the organization’s top-six. Now, it appears that Lindholm’s days in Vancouver may be numbered, as Chris Johnston of TSN is reporting that the Canucks have spoken with the Boston Bruins about flipping Lindholm in order to acquire Jake Guentzel from the Pittsburgh Penguins. In theory, a trade could work between the three teams, but there will undoubtedly be a lot of moving parts in any trade of this magnitude. Hypothetically, the Bruins could send a package of Jake DeBrusk and John Beecher to the Penguins, with the Canucks sending Vasily Podkolzin to Pittsburgh as well. Before this year started, the Bruins were heavily rumored to be a team looking for center help after watching Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci retire in the offseason. Nevertheless, the team opted to utilize Pavel Zacha and Charlie Coyle as their one-two punch down the middle. Both players have handled the pressure well, with Coyle now six points away from a career-high in a single season. It is interesting to see Lindholm’s name pop back up in trade rumors, as they surrounded him for nearly a year in Calgary. In 14 games with the Canucks since the trade in late January, Lindholm has scored two goals and six points overall coupled with a 58.1% faceoff percentage. Ultimately, the team may prefer to add more offense to their wings, instead of employing Lindholm in a third-line role down the middle. In the hunt for their third President’s Trophy victory in franchise history, the Canucks are seemingly doing everything they can to create a Stanley Cup-caliber team. Infamously, even with the organization now being 53 years old, Vancouver has lost all three Stanley Cup Finals in team history. https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2024/03/updates-on-jake-guentzel-elias-lindholm.html#ref=home 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWJC Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 If this comes to fruition we’re possibly looking at: Podkolzin Kuzy Brzustewicz Jurmo 1st 4th For Guentzel Hefty price to pay. 1 6 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitz-Pix Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) No Thanks... We've already paid assets to acquire Lindholm All the pieces going to Pittsburgh should come from the Bruins IMO Essentially we should be trading Lindholm to the Bruins for Guentzel straight up. I would suggest that the Bruins get the best deal, according to the way the proposal is structured in the article. Pens come out of it well, Bruins only give up 2 pieces to get the guy they want.... and we give up 6 pieces? We'd be trading a Center (that the Bruins really want) for a Winger...we get screwed in this proposal IMO Edited March 6 by Blitz-Pix 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitz-Pix Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 IMO... Playoff success will be determined on which goaltender is playing the best when the playoffs start. There are 6 Teams in the East and 6 in the West capable of going on a run this post season. I don't think this is the year to throw all our chips in...to much parity.

Why does everything have to be the media making stuff up. People said the media was making stuff up about Petey.... and then he resigned. Have you ever heard the expression, where there's smoke there's fire. Since making the Lindholm trade this team has looked awful. No offensive firepower whatsoever. Is it that hard for you to believe that maybe they will try to cut their losses on Lindholm and try out a different rental? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MeanSeanBean Posted March 6 Popular Post Share Posted March 6 If the price is Pod and Lindholm this is a hard no from me. Definitely not against the idea of flipping Lindholm for Guentzel, but not worth adding a promising young player like Podkolzin. IMO the price of the 2 players are equal. 4 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wai_lai416 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I look at it more like kuzmenko was cap dumped by adding hunter. Kuzmenko have negative trade value as a Canuck. He’s cost 5.5mil sitting in the press box with another year left. Only Canucks fan would think kuzmenko was positive trade asset especially to a team like Calgary. lindholm was traded for a 1st and jurmo and a 4th guentzel costing a 1st podz jurmo and a 4th is not that ridiculous. Podz value outside of Vancouver is prolly not all that high regardless of what Vancouver fan thinks. Hoglander prolly have much higher value than podz atm 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston really needs a center and if they want this to happen, they need to make the overpay in a three-way, not us. 2 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it that hard for you to believe that maybe they will try to cut their losses on Lindholm and try out a different rental? You do realize that Lindholm is still an asset though right? He's was the top ranked TDL target...we can still trade him but it shouldn't have to require us to add. Stick him with Petey and let them figure it out... or put him on the 4th line to center a shutdown line, take key faceoffs, 2nd PP unit, and kill penalties. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tas Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 perhaps podkolzin goes to pitt because debrusk would actually be going to vancouver instead of the penguins? he doesn't fit their needs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyClarke Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 As has been said, I don’t like the idea of giving additional assets to get Guentzal. But having said that, Jimmy and Patrick have won Stanley Cups and I’m a government employee. If it results in winning our first Stanley Cup, then it’s worth it to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindholm might be equal prior to the trade. His value tanked after the trade. He hasn’t looked good.. not exactly producing.. and demoted to 3rd line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
