Player Discussion Elias Lindholm

[BruinDust]

Calgary fans were fine having them gone at the end too

If I was a Flames fan a year ago it would of warmed my heart seeing these two leave via trade and drastically reduce the odds of either one being re-signed.

I cringe at the thought of the Bruins extending guys like Frederic and Brazeau.

It was a risk for them to sign him. That's what a desperate team with no #1 center does. In retrospect, so far, not a good signing.

 

[I am Bettman]

I like how he’s played so far honestly, have to just ignore production and single him out during his shift to see what he does. Quiet but steady.

You have a right to be wrong about both of them! Lol

At least he's self aware

That would be great at half his salary. Can't ignore the lack of production from a 7.75 million dollar center.

Huge unnecessary, signing

Huge unnecessary, signing

I totally understand it and like the player. Just hasn't worked out yet, I am sure (hopefully) he has a lot more production in him.

Brazeau and Frederic are water and oil. Freddy would bring in a nice haul in a trade, Brazeau has zero value and will be signed at league minimum if we resign him.

I still say Frederic is not going anywhere unless its an over payment.

No other player brings what he does on the roster. People hate him But I don't , he should be getting better line mats and more ice time.

As long as Sweeney and Neely are at the helm, Frederic will be here. No doubt in my mind.

That play on Perunovich yesterday was disgusting. Not because it was dirty (it was), but because it was lazy. Here you have a 5'10 175 lb D-man going for a loose puck along the wall, and instead of Frederic using his 6'3 200+ lb frame to win that puck against a much smaller player, he takes a stupid lazy penalty as he had clear intent the way he took down Perunovich there. No accident. Gives a St. Louis team down one goal some momentum heading into the locker room.

The words that went through my head on that play was "F&^&* idiot".

 

[calnuck]

Canucks fan here. He wasn't that great when he first came over here either but came alive during the playoffs. He'll come around eventually don't count him out yet

 

[Over the volcano]

At least he's self aware

If only this place were the same

 

[McGarnagle]

7.75 million for Carl Soderberg 2.0

 

[The don godfather]

Hes gonna turn it around. Book it!

 

[EverettMike]

Hes gonna turn it around. Book it!

Book marked it!

 

[chizzler]

I think the shuffling doesn’t help. We can pick in all players, including these two. The point is the team as a whole isn’t playing good. Who knows why? You can’t get chemistry the way Monty changes his lines all the time and gets too many men constantly.

Elias Lindholm gets brutally honest about start to Bruins career

https://985thesportshub.com/2024/11/17/elias-lindholm-gets-brutally-honest-about-start-to-bruins-career/

If there’s one thing you can say about Bruins center Elias Lindholm, it’s that he’s honest. Painfully so, in fact, with things not going his way (or the Bruins’ way for that matter) approaching the quarter mark of the 2024-25 campaign.

“I think overall, for myself, I just haven’t been good enough,” Lindholm, who signed a seven-year, $54.25 million contract last July to be Boston’s new No. 1 center, said following Sunday’s practice at Warrior Ice Arena. “Wouldn’t put the blame on something else other than myself. I gotta be better.”

 

[Pia8988]

I do think him missing a ton of camp hurt, and he was super slow in Vancouver. Maybe he turns it around, but will he ever be a cup winning 1c? Probably not

 

[LSCII]

If you look at his production for his career by year, he's usually a .50 PPG player. The numbers for his time in Calgary get skewed up collectively to .68 PPG because of a couple of productive seasons, but generally speaking he's usually a half a point per game guy most years. He's slightly under here, so he's basically as advertised, IMO. He's no more underproducing than plenty of other guys on the roster.

For a forward who gets ample time 5 on 5, PP and PK, I'd expect better than an 8 goal pace for 7.75 million. His points-per-game is on par generally speaking, but an 8 goal pace is 4th liner level stuff.

Captain obvious

 

[Bmessy]

He's probably better than he's been and should be a 20-40 guy. But interesting watching his 40 goal Calgary highlights its very obvious that Gaudreau did all the work and Lindholm reaped the benefits. half of his goals are were on a platter.

Talk about speed, he was pretty fast signing that contract. He is just another nail that should be driven into Sweeneys career as Gm of the Boston Bruins. Monty should go, but there is no way you can pin all this on Monty, but the media takes the easy route, blame Monty because he will be gone, but Sweeney will still be here, in my mind a bunch of cowards and a bunch of gutless pukes, hear me Joe Haggerty, phony. Media frauds do your job, grow a pair.

That's true but we have a guy that can put goals on a platter for him too they just both need to hustle a lot more on the ice.
