Proposal: Hampus Lindholm + Rakell to Boston
- Thread starter sasha barkov

As others have mentioned... The B's can only really look at this deal if they get some reasonable level of confidence that Lindholm will resign.
As for the comparisons to Stone, it's worth noting that he signed on March 8th, roughly 10 days after being traded to Vegas.... it doesn't really seem like that was a "sign & trade" type deal, but more "I'm not signing in Ottawa" type of deal.
Agents will of course say "he wants to test the market". Sometimes that is face value. Sometimes it's a way of saying he just doesn't really want to be there. Others, just posturing to try and get the best deal.
Obviously, we don't know what Lindholm's true intentions are, but my understanding is that most players don't actually want to "test the market" -- they're happy to go somewhere they feel valued, are paid appropriately, and have a shot at a cup.
If you're the Boston Bruins, I think you've gotta take a really, really aggressive approach with Lindholm. He'd be a great fit on their D alongside McAvoy, Carlo, and Gryz; and hold the "veteran respect" of Bergy & Marchand as leaders.

Crazy if it does. It's not far off at all. Maybe you do see Forbert or Reilly going from Boston but it certainly does look close to possible.
Would be awesome haha, I also agree that Reilly/Forbert would be going back, they seem like they fit the mold of defensemen Verbeek would want coming back
A few days ago, one of our insiders told us that Boston was given the green light to talk to Lindholm's agent about an extension, which was also verified by one of our mod's from something else they had heard. That's not an automatic guarantee to something getting done, but the two teams are talking. I really like Lindholm, he could really add to the Boston top 4.
