Confirmed Trade: [BOS/ANA] Hampus Lindholm (@50%), Kodie Curran for Urho Vaakanainen, John Moore, 2022 1st, 2023 2nd, 2024 2nd

[Rants Mulliniks]

Does this mean Bruins fans can invade the Toronto thread when they get Gio? FML

You are saying this as though they wouldn't be in every Leaf thread anyway?

 

[Mr Positive]

Seems like a Hall situation. Hall also had a very good trade value for Boston.

I think Lindholm will extend with Boston, but it will take awhile. Good orgs prefer it that way anyways.

My general assumption is that players like to be UFAs and consider multiple teams, cities, and salaries.

 

[fin8]

Can the Bruins extend him?

If they do extend him, then Boston wins big in this trade. He’s in his prime, plays almost 25 min a game and most importantly, is a solid Dman. They need to extend him tho, or it’s a bad trade for them.

 

[ORRMAN]

Boston is chasing us and we’ve had the leagues worst goaltending for over a month. Not really worried about them.

Yeah, we feel the same way about you. The difference is TML's playoff track record. You'll beat us to the golf course, as usual.

 

[ORRMAN]

I really don't see why fans are upset at a 1st and two 2nds for a pejding UFA rental but ok

Sweeney wouldn't do this unless the likelyhood of a loung term deal were high.

 

[dredeye]

Sweeney is such a trash gm

 

[57special]

This is huge for BOS if they can re-sign him at a reasonable rate(6.5-7M). This helps everything, and will allow MacAvoy to be even better.

Yes, but this and the Hall trades are outliers. Excellent trades.

 

[northeastern]

If youre reading Boston’s comments Moore is a cap dump, and Vaak is a middle pairing defenseman. Anaheim shipped off a 28 year old top 4 defenseman. And got 1 first and 2 seconds with filler attached. Boston made out like bandits even if he doesnt resign. Anaheim wanted a first? A TOP prospect + just for a rental alone

I think vaak is a pretty solid propert. Moore is sevicable I'd say a cap casualty. But Vaak probably isn't a A+ chip anymore unfortunately.

I'd feel better if we extend him, obviously.

 

[ORRMAN]

B's better hope they sign him or they get rinsed in this deal. Burning the boats for a couple more kicks at this old Bergeron core.

I love how Leafs fans come into other teams' trade threads to piss all over deals; that tendency springs from a steep but appropriate insecurity based on TML's track record. Other than Bergeron, Bs' core is young and solid: McAvoy, Lindholm, Pastanak, Swayman, DeBrusk (yes, I know he has some question marks), Gryz, Reily, Carlo, and Frederic are all young. Coyle, Hall, Marchand, and Smith will be in their prime for several years. Swayman could be a Top 5 goalie. Frankly, I like B's future better than TMLs.

 

[TheNumber4]

Expensive for a rental for a just okay Boston team this year. Reasonable if extension gets made.

Hampus seemed to be way more impressive early in his career and has fallen a bit under the radar lately. Great player still, but if Boston doesn’t resign and gives up all those futures… they’ll soon be rebuild territory as that core gets older.

This novel of a response reads very insecure.

 

[ijuka]

Return on Lindholm is worse than on Ben Chiarot.

 

[Dr Amazing204]

Good trade atleast he didn't go to the Maple Leafs

Why are you and other TML fan boys in here to tell Bruins fans why this is a bad trade? That's the insecurity in this thread.

Pour your heart out fella.

I don’t see this as a good trade at all.

Wow - you consider a 3 line response to be like a novel. I guess this thread must be like a set of encyclopedias for you to get through.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Yeah, we feel the same way about you. The difference is TML's playoff track record. You'll beat us to the golf course, as usual.

How so? Players play golf all season long.

Do you think it is a bad trade? I don't.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Bruins going to be a handful for whomever they draw. If they get a 2C, thinking maybe Krejci back, they will be a nightmare matchup

 

[Givememoneyback]

Return on Lindholm is worse than on Ben Chiarot.

How so? Piece for piece, I think Anaheim got more than the Habs, but could be missing something.

Bruins and wild are going to be tough outs I think

It’s just Hab fans randomly looking for pats on the back from other teams on things that are irrelevant

Krejci can not come back this year without passing through waivers. This has been beat to death on the Bruins board
