Boston Bruins hockey

Out of all the players available. The bruins sign Elias Lindholm. A player I know nothing about. I'm happy to see debust grizzlicks and forbort gone. I'm disappointed bertuzzi didn't come back. But at least he's out of the division and conference. The only way the bruins see him now. In games that matter is the finals. There are so many players moving around. i can't keep up with it.
 
The more I hear about Lindholm and zadorov. The more I like it. Some describe lindholm. As bergy light. He came in second for the selke award a couple of years ago. And he is supposed to be excellent at faceoffs. According to hockey people. He was one of the best centers available. And he's only 29.

Now if only they could trade the other Lindholm as a salary dump and get some winger help, they have little to no scoring after the 1st line. They will basically be paying Hampus 6.5mil per to be a 3rd pairing, and maybe an occasional scratch, with a Lohrei extension looming soon.
 
if this is true. It's time to move on. That's a ridicules amount of money for a goalie. Who hasn't played 60 games in a season yet. He is good. He's not 10 mill a year good. i hope they trade him. and bring up bussi.
He's overplaying his hand. No team is going to pay him more than the Bruins, and if they decide to move on he's going to lose out on millions. I'd probably be OK with 8/yr, he's in the Hellebuyck and Sorokin class, but even that's a gamble not knowing if he can carry the load a full season.

Even 8 mill a year is too much. I really hope they move on from him.
 
I'd guess Swayman's agent is the challenge here. His other clients ( Nylander for instance) have been last minute signings.
I don't think they will walk away from him at all. Neely is clear on that, and Swayman is clear that he wants to be here. Something will get done, eventually.
 
As much as I love Swayman, he isn't worth $10m, $6m, maybe $7m tops. Get the damn deal done and get ready for the upcoming season.
I think he's going to sit out some games. Like nylander did with the leafs. They have the same agent.
 
I was disappointed to see Swayman throwing around such a ridiculous $ figure. I understand posturing (ask for 10, you really want 8) but agree with posts here saying 7 mil tops.
of course, who the hell thought WR's in NFL getting that much money, so Swayman can shoot for the works and see what happens.
NHL ain't NFL as far as revenues, so if B's don't budge above a reasonable number I'm fine with that.
