Lindback is a UFA this summer.  Flip him before the deadline too?  If possible.... yuck.

 

This year he has been terrible.  But, I remember him quite well from when he was in Nashville and he was very good as Pekka's backup.  Not sure what happened to him since then.  Doesn't matter though.  Murray is all-in on finishing dead last at this point.

Enroth was never coming back.

For him, this year was the definition of be careful what you wish for.

 

Good call.  Being the starter on the Sabres probably sounded a lot better to him last year than the reality that presented itself.

I don't think Lindback was the asset GMTM wanted -- I think it was the draft pick -- i.e. he figured he wasn't going to do any better than a 3rd-rounder for Enroth, so when one presented itself, he took it.  I think taking Lindback in the deal was part of the price for the 3rd-rounder.

 

Quite a day.

is lindback any good

 

I'm a Texas Stars season ticket holder, and he was just down in the AHL team for a conditioning assignment.  He did let up one bad goal but made a number of really good stops, but we went to a shootout with him in goal, and OH BOY.  He got beat through the five hole THREE TIMES IN A ROW.  It was ugly

Welp.

 

I guess it makes sense: GM TM has a strong preference for big 'tenders, and little Johnas is a pending UFA. So, trade him for a pick and a big goalie (who might return to form).

Lindback is UFA as well.

I've wanted this trade for two months now......

 

I really hope this eliminates any crazy 3-10 CHL runs.....

I have a feeling there was a time when Murray liked Lindback a lot. Tampa paid a high price to get him from the Preds and he used to be quite highly regarded.

He has sucked since though.

 

Murray probably will see what he gets from Lindback. If he likes him enough to re-sign, he gives back the third. If he doesn't, he lets him go and keeps the third.

Similar to the Halak/Neuvirth deal in a way.
