Description

- Assuming the Bruins are as in love with Lindholm as they are rumored to be I think we sign him and he centers a “defensive” line between Marchand and Debrusk.
- I don’t think Lohrei is ready for a full-time top 4 role and as good as Wothorspoon has been, asking him to step in full-time as a top 4/6 defenseman for a full season for the first time in his career is a big risk and a big ask. They’re going to have to look somewhere to get a top 4 defenseman to bridge the gap for Lohrei. So who are they going to target?

a couple things i think are weird here:
1. that you presume the bruins are in love with Lindholm. No one has indicated that. If they were, he'd be a bruin right now.
2. Grzelcyk isn't on the UFA list.

I’d ask for a sweetener from Boston and to remove the 3rd but if it came down to it I’d do it

Friedman reporting they tried to acquire Lindholm from both Calgary and Vancouver, but wanted to make sure that he’d sign before they traded for him and that they would love to revisit it in the summer if he makes it to free agency. That isn’t enough proof of interest for you?

We had the cap issues and limited draft capital going against us plus a pretty clear incentive to wait until the Summer if you believed he’d make it there.

I get some Boston fans want to redeploy resources differently and things can change, but it is pretty clear that Boston is very interested in Lindholm.

Do they love him enough to give him a 7 year, 7.25M AAV? That’s a question we’ll soon find out

With regards to the original question, I assume they want to resign Heinen. Wouldn’t be shocked to see them resign Grz depending on how the playoffs go, but assume we can find someone useful at the 3m range.

Wouldn’t be shocked to see them move on from Lauko.
