@ConorRyan_93 Heβs got skill which the bruins desperately need. You canβt do this without sending lindholm though, and Iβm not sure heβd waive his NTC.
@lesagelocke@bobbiebrewski Yes hence the sign and trade. Losing teams do this to get something for the player rather than letting them walk, and gaining teams do it to prevent the player from hitting the open market and signing elsewhere
@Goosey1994 I do agree, but ultimately management agreed to these terms. You canβt give full NTCs then complain when the players use them to their advantage.
@GregoryLizotte@NHLRumourReport Which is the point of my original comment. Zacha doesnβt strike me as a winning cornerstone piece. You canβt pay him big money with lindholms contract still on the books. Sell high
@Goosey1994 He has true upside which canβt be said for most of the roster. Whether heβs traded on his own or as part of a package, there needs to be true skill coming back in return.
