Value of Lindell

[BlackhawksFan]

Looking to gauge the value of Lindell in the multicat salary keeper league in signature.

I am not liking his recently signed contract in my cap league. He is a multicat contributor with Hits/Blocks and might get 30-35 points and approximately 10PPP. But is that worth the cap hit? I think we might have seen his ceiling already with the like of Klingberg/Heiskanen in the way of his progression/path further. Opinions of his cap hit to value ratio?

Also, what kind of trade value would he garner? Any suggested "cheaper" target replacements and/or prospects?

Chychrun is the guy I would target that's in the same range, but cheeper. I wouldn't want Lindell on my cap team at that price.

What about Mcavoy? I know he is an RFA and unsigned? Think he gets less/more than Lindell?

I think you have perfectly assessed Lindell and his situation. Decent multi-cat contributor with 30-35 pt ceiling.

Whether or not that is good value in your particular league and whether or not he has much trade value is hard to say, but at $5.8 million, there are probably quite a few cheaper options out there. If I were you, I'd probably try moving him and be happy with whatever return I get for him.

He is a very safe option to consistently produce what he did this past season, but I don't ever see him exploding offensively to over 45+ pts.

I'd say he gets as much or more than Lindell, but he definitely has more fantasy appeal.

McAvoy is a guy I could eventually see explode offensively. He is such a phenomenal skater and quite an aggressive player. I'd certainly want him over Lindell.

I mean, he scored 28 pts this past season in only 54 games. Pro-rated that is about a 42 pt pace over 82 games. And McAvoy is still only 21 years old, so he isn't even close to his prime yet.

Look at his pro-rated stats over his first two years. He has multi-cat superstar potential. And as mentioned there's still so much room to grow. Injuries are the only concern with him.

I wouldn't want Lindell in a cap league either but I guess it depends on your cap ceiling setup. The leagues I am in uses the same cap ceiling as the NHL does so his value drops significantly.

As far as McAvoy goes, I expect him to sign for a bigger number than this.

[Eskimo Brother]

McAvoy I'm not as high on as everyone else. He has Krug blocking him, only one top line in Boston to play with (again Krug steals it), and he has a very low shot total too that is a red flag for me. I get the love, but temper it a bit. He's not turning into Hedman or Doughty.

McAvoy is about to get Paid. 6m or more is my guess.
I'm with EB... unless McAvoy starts shooting the puck, I don't want to own him... his SOG/GM is like 1.15 over the last two seasons. I mean, Gardiner/Suter are light shooters, but they're over 1.5 per game at least.
I can't see him hitting 50pts until he gets that shot rate up to 1.4 at least.. 88-100 sog over 82gp is awful for an offensive Dman.

I'd rather own Parayko

Or pay good money for 3-4 offensive Dmen with mid level periphs and grab someone like Hagg, Schenn, Cernak or McNabb for cheap periph stuffs

Doesn't help me with Lindell, but in discussion with Chychrun owner, I was offered this:

MY Sikura for HIS Chychrun.

Gets me a dman and then can try to trade Lindell for anything

I like it. Sikura doesn't have a lot of upside in my eyes.

I like it. Sikura doesn't have a lot of upside in my eyes.

Only negative is Chychrun contract kicks in at 4.6m. But if he produces in multicat, might be a deal

You wanted a comparable to Lindell, that's why I brought up Chychrun as he's about 80% of the cost. If you want cheaper, then let us know what your parameters are.

I like the comparison. I would not have thought of it. And once I looked into it I like it. Much appreciated and thanks for the feedback
