Thread: Big Spending on Forwards
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>If I would have asked either of you at the beginning of the season who you’d realistically want to get to fill the void at center, I believe Elias Lindholm would have been the first or second name out of your mouth.

He had a down year, but him and Barkov were the two names that most reminded us of Patrice. If Sweeney still covets him, I’m fine with the decision especially with how he’s playing in the playoffs. I can see that fitting with Pasta fairly easily</div></div>

I've actually never been huge on Lindholm because while he's almost always good, he only shows that real second gear that makes him look like a 1C every few years. If anything I'm a little more amenable to signing him after a down year, hoping he comes at a more reasonable rate than the 9M he was reportedly expecting a year ago

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>beantownboy17</b></div><div>In general, I think this is the approach the Bs take. They need skill guys, not just to take pressure of Pasta, but to lift him up. The issue is: I don't think E. Lindholm is that guy. He isn't a lights out skill guy but he is a natural center, which they need.

Also, I think Frost between Pasta and Zacha would be excellent. Then put Lindholm on the 2nd line with DeBrusk, Marchand, Coyle or some combination theirin for a shutdown 2 way line that can match up with the top offensive line.</div></div>

I'm not sold on Lindholm either, but its hard not to get the sense that Boston pursuing him is a foregone conclusion. If think if they really weaponize their cap space to build up the forward corps, Lindholm is gonna be on the top of their list of targets
