Boston Bruins 2023-24 Roster and Salary Cap Discussion XIII: On the eve of the trade deadline

[Sheppy]

Now there's talk COL has made enough room to acquire Lindholm too. Jeez.

Landeskog potentially returning at playoff time, and Kush coming back off the PA program. That's a terrifying team.

I wouldn't really understand that or them now, Mittelstadt is their long term 2C answer. Have no need of Lindholm anymore.

I would assume if they were involved it would be as a pure rental. I don't love Mittelstadt, but he's a solid #2

 

[The don godfather]

I want lindholm . Donny do your magic.

 

[TSBruins13]

Meh nothing we are rumored to be "interested" in excites me outside of Hanifin - who seems to want to go south.

Lets try to sell off some of our UFAs and recoup some draft capital or prospects. Don't see us competing with Florida.

You go through players like a hot knife through butter! Wennberg, Carter now Lindholm!? C'mannn, dawg!

This right here.

I never thought lindholm was possible. Still dont know how Donny pulls it off after mortgaging the farm last year and going broke after that game 7 debacle.

 

[TD Charlie]

It's weird to say it considering their position in the standings, but I'd sell.

EDIT: Do I like the idea of Lindholm? Sure. Do I think he puts the Bruins over the hump? Hell no. Is it possibly worth it based on a contract and the pieces being moved out? Mmmmmmaybe. I don't really trust the process though, and for that reason I'm out

If only Florida had this mindset last year.

If the choice is overpay for mediocrity to maybe win a round or sell and restock and still maybe only win a round…sign me up for a relative fire sale.

Sell when your 3 points behind first in the Atlantic. Makes sense.

No guarantee with a stacked lineup your gonna pass round 1. See bruins 2014 2023.

Darn its lindholm or bust now.

 

[TSBruins13]

Lindholm is a nice player, don’t get me wrong, but he solves none of our issues right now. He’s a pretty soft player, and isn’t particularly good at faceoffs. Just dont see him coming in and really moving the needle.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Wennberg to NYR

good

 

[TD Charlie]

If I was more confident that they could make a run with some small moves, ok sure go for it again. They really aren't all that close IMO.

 

[JAD]

Playoff teams are in a win now mode. Giving up a late first round pick helps them now when they need the help. The late pick won't help them for another 3 - 5 years if ever. I have no problem trading a 1st for a proven NHL player.

 

[Sheppy]

Ok, yeah, I've said this 20 times now, but here's 21 - Don't do a f***ing thing other than unload contracts for anything.

(Other than Ullmark, try to get someone for him)

Lindholm is clicking at like 58% at the dot this season, and has been 55+% for each of the past 3 years. I think adding him for late game situational faceoffs would solve a lot tbh.

 

[Sheppy]

That's a good signing, imo. Doesn't break the bank for them, good bottom pair guy who's physical as hell.

 

[NeelyDan]

Do you really feel you’re in a position to chirp people?

Neither was the blues in 2019. Anything is possible. Get in.
