Not a huge Kadri fan either, he'd be the first to go if possible. Anyway I'd definitely be trading Lindholm, Hanifin, and Tanev for picks/prospects. The issue then being you bring in a bunch of young guys and have them looking up to the veterans, Kadri and Huberdeau, for the next 5 years...  |
Lindholm is a helluva player man. Backlund as well. Flames support/complimentary guys just haven't kicked it into gear yet. Same in Edm. Mangiapane is doing ok. Dube less so. Coranato looks great and so does Ruzicka. Some very nice prospects in the A. Conversely Kadri and Coleman are wastes of oxygen but lots of teams have those.
Still too early
