Lindholm scores a lot of his goals the same way: being in the right place at the right time and going to the net.

Isn't that kind of how most NHL goals are scored

Lots of goals are scored via high skills play, like a Pasta or Patty Kane type of goal. Lindholm doesn't strike me as a guy that's going to wow with his skills or a laser shot or blowing past defenders but gets the job done by reading the play and being in good position.

Lindholm's deal can very quickly turn out horribly especially if his 23-24 seasons is the start of a decline & isn't just an outlier bad year.
That said we desperately need to win a cup with Pasta & he helps the B's get closer to that goal. Despite the red flags I'm pretty confident in the Bruins pro scouting that Lindholm's pedestrian 2024 season was just a one off & that his eventual decline won't happen until year 4-5 if it happens at all during the deal. As long as he provides 60+ points with Selke caliber defense I think he's worth that contract. Excited to see how he fits on the team!

agreed. I was initially upset with the overpay deals to him and Zadorov, but then I realized what the plan must be: they are going for it for the next 3 or so years while Pasta, McAvoy, and Swayman are in still in their primes. Then, with few or no blue chips in the pipeline, probably a big rebuild. So sure, overpay in AAV and especially years on deals for E Lindholm and Zadorov because they will make the team better for the next three or so years and then it doesn’t matter that the back half of their deals will be negative value contracts as they regress with age because those will be rebuilding years anyway.
Marchand is also 36 and probably only has a couple years left in him where he still "has it"

He still put up 67 points without Bergeron by his side.
Did Marchand hurt his wrist or hand in the playoffs?

Marchand hurt this team by being an overslotted middle-6 wing with, admittedly, very 'plus' distribution and transition ability
I'd be happy with that. Let's try and focus on Elias Lindholm in this thread though. We can continue the Marchand chat here:

That WAS my Lindholm prediction, hence the faceoff numbers.

Count down ...
This dude is a net front tipping machine. I can't wait to watch him play with pasta.

While watching the videos of Lindholm, I agree he does remind me of Bergy but I think he has a better shot. What he does very well is let it go and does not try to over think or over pass. It was nice to Johnny Hockey and his uncanny passes, most were the direct feeds to Lindholm. What a tragic loss for the hockey community.
Honestly we don't know if he isn't a #1C. FO and defensively he clearly is, so his chemistry with #88 will determine if he is or isn't. Great chem and he would be considered 22-32 top center.
Why would you say something like that, he really does not put up those kinds of stats. Playing with Pasta, will help his stats, but that can go for many players and for less money.

Well, I hope you are not wrong, but to be honest with you I was against this signing, but again hope you are right.
