Lindholm makes too much sense, especially with maybe a Swayman or Ullmark going the other way in a package. Hanifin is also on the block, but that would require an epic blockbuster to make it all work.
Yeah the stickler in this is that Calgary doesn't need goalies. They need to get rid of their own to make way for Dustin Wolf.......and no combo of goalie swaps between the 2 would make sense. There would have to be some 3rd party involved here....perhaps Buffalo could use a Markstrom! There is no one left on Boston to jettison besides Debrusk.......and obviously Gryz is starting to see the writing on the wall next year. Neither of these teams have any cap room so its like for like.
20 Million between CMac and Pasta is tough to swallow.
So to recap...The B's are out of money
20 Million on D between 3 dudes until 2027
10 Million on centers who may or may not be a solution to missing pieces until 2026
8.5 Million in Goal
and a giant 11 Million to Pasta (for the rest of my life) and 6 to Brad until 2025.
If they sign NONE of their UFAs next year (7 Players) that's only relief of 15 Million.
Ouch!
