He'll do good somewhere else. He just needs a lot more reps! Good luck Lindy & thank you for your efforts!

Needs to go to khl or Sweden so he can start he needs reps

Anywhere but the NHL , he just can't cut it. 3.91 gaa & .881 save avg. in playoffs. If Big Ben was in there we could have gotten to Conf. final or Cup final.

Lindback looks to be gone, i'm quite surprised with his potential Yzerman can't at least trade him for a pick?

His stats were terrible but he still has potential. He'll get a lot of interest on the open market, he's still only 26.

I agree with Danny, everyone's worth something especially at his age. And the Bolts will never find out how much they can get for him if they don't at least try!

A seventh round pick.

I don't think lindback ever becomes a starter! He panics on break aways! His side to side movement needs work. He handles the puck with his stick worse then any goalie I have ever seen. Nashville messed this guy up so badly! He needed to be a starter in the ahl and learn! He just sat on the bench behind Rinne! Which did him no good. At best he becomes a nhl back up goalie but he needs to go over seas and get starts!

His first year with the Lightning he was the starter but eventually lost the job to Nittimaki. He had the worst stats for a NHL goalie. Then came Big Ben and it was all over for Lindback. Lets hope Big Ben can duplicate last year and not be bothered by his wrist injury.

There was a report somewhere that I read that Bishop had a dislocated elbow at the end of the season/playoffs. I'll try to find the report to quote it. I just hope Bishop doesn't become prone to injuries. All we need is a head injury Harry!
