Proposal: BOS - MON

So listen, ok? I'm starting to get REALLY creative as we get closer to the draft and July 1st. I watch and listen to tons of videos, I feel like my brain wants to go to unexplored places... So maybe this is farfetched... I'm not sure that as a Habs fan I really want this... I'm ready for this thread to be locked. But this is genuinely not trolling, I swear.

You're ready? Here goes :


MON receives :

Elias Lindholm
BOS 1st pick in 2025 (7th OVR)


BOS receives :

MON 1st pick in 2025 (17th OVR)


My reasoning is Habs get a player that has been a legit top-6 center two years from now but who has been on a first year of a terrible contract for his recent level of play. You take a chance he bounces back in MON with Demidov, if he doesn't, you're kind of stuck with his contract, so it sucks, but the cap starts getting up. By the end of the contract, maybe he is the 3C behind Michael Hage or a Jake O'Brien/Brady Martin picked with that 7th OVR pick (or maybe they go Porter Martone, who would tear it alongside Demidov).

BOS, in return, get the Lindholm's contract removed and can go on with spending money on guys who would work better alongside Pastrnak, McAvoy and Swayman.

:p now let's see if I get rolled over with this take!
Creative? I believe the word you should have used was "ridiculous".
 
Lindholm played hurt most of the season. He played with Marchand who was also recovering from injury and a mix of underproducing RWs on a really struggling team.

He was healthy and finished the last month of the season playing with Pasta and Geekie and found his game.

17GP, 6G, 15 Pts, +3

Then he went to the Worlds and led the tournament with 8 Goals.

If anything we need Lindholm and certainly aren’t adding to move him.
Yeah, I have a feeling Lindholm is going to have a much better year than he did last year.
Same goes with every Bruin aside from Pasta/Geekie.
