We have an actual top 2C. Love the Lindholm signing.
Slight overpayment and lots of years for both of them, but tough not to be incredibly excited about this.
Lindholm is a perfect fit for this system. Plays in all situations, great on faceoffs, Pasta's wingman. He'll be given so many opportunities here and it gives him his best chance to play his two-way game and try to find his old offensive numbers. Should we have a better 1C down the line, I'd argue he's a pretty perfect 2C.
We got bullied in the playoffs. Won't happen with Zadorov.
We had the money and spent it. Better team than we were yesterday.

Always liked the player, I’m good with the $$ $ spent here.
It will be refreshing to watch a d-man play true to his size and absolutely punish guys instead of wrapping them up along the boards.

Love it! Watch Zaddy hunt Tkachuk and Bennett. This will take a huge load off of 73.
I called YEARS AGO to replace Grzy with Zadorov. Zaddy with 14 goals a few years ago and 4 Gs in the playoffs this year. Absolute cannon.

We are a better team today than yesterday.
And with the Cap taking a big jump next year it will look all the better.

Welcome to Boston!
I am REALLY looking forward to seeing you both at the Garden soon (but NOT soon enough

Hello old friends, just checking in and really happy with these moves. My kid not happy with Sweeney lately I hope this changes his mood! Much better team today. Hey Wally!

I am ultra-pumped we got Zadorov. The bigger and harder our D-core is to play against the better off we are. Keep that slot area clear so Sway can pick cherries instead of looking through screens.
I hope Lindholm makes a big difference. Moving Coyle and Zacha down a line should give us a more potent offense.

Life is great Wally! 5 grandkids and 1 on the way keeps us busy! And you!? It'll be nice to have another Bog Z on the back line and honestly won't miss DeBrusk's spottiness. Hope Hampus picks it up this year too. I think we were undermanned and they outperformed my expectations for 23-24. This could be a new era.

What do the Bruins do next? I think they were waiting to sign Sway until they knew exactly what they were gonna spend today. I expect the remaining free agents will be like last year. Cheap one to two year deals like Van Riemsdyk and Geekie. So who can they get on short term cheaper deals? Skinner, Drouin? Maybe not?
Zacha-Lindholm-Pasta
Marchand-Poitras-?
See how Poitras does for the first few games - has apparently put on weight since his surgery which is good. There's a hole at 2RW but we'll see where we end up there. Imagine we'll see Marchand-Pasta-Lindholm a fair bit in tight games or when chasing a lead.
Loving this. Probably a little too much for Zadorov in both term and money but I love the player and is something they need on the backend so I don't care. Now lock up Swayman!

Still have over 11 million to spend according to Spotrac.

Still have to get Sway signed, but should still have a little capital left to make some more moves unless he gobbles it all up.

You guys are going to love big Z. With his swagger and big hits, he will quickly become a fan favorite for sure. He does make some bone headed outlet passes in his own end but those are easily overlooked. Nice signing.
Both players should be good for the first few years. As they enter their mid 30s in a few years and regress, these deals will be regretted, but Pasta and McAvoy will be entering their early regression years as that time, so I get these deals. Make one more big push while the core is still in their prime, give the team a big shot in the arm for a few years, and then just live through the back half of these deals while maybe retooling for a few years.
