Damn…smart move.

 

[Recipe Unlimited]

Well I doubt Lindholm will be giving Boston a hometown discount

 

[Foppberg]

Damn son.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Makes sense. Love the player.

 

[centipede2233]

Can they resign him for 8 years? I thought he had to be with the team for a certain amount of time

Yes they can. See Mark Stone.

He has to be with the team before the trade deadline. Which he obviously is in this case.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Depending on the money, this could be a solid deal for the Bruins.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Vlasic 2.0 Incoming

 

[elmaco]

Nice

 

[Connor McConnor]

This contract won’t age well but Bruins window is now so guess it makes sense

 

[Gliff]

Vlasic 2.0 Incoming

Ya those last couple years could be rough, especially if the injuries he has had in the past couple years continue.

Has there been any more info about the Bruins sending a prospect of the resign him?

 

[The Duck Knight]

Vlasic 2.0 Incoming

I don't think the fall off will be as quick and as sudden as Vlasic. At least the last couple years of this deal will be ugly though.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

This makes all the picks traded worth it, but depends on the AVV. 7 mill is not awful.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Absolutely welcome this. McAvoy, Lindholm, Carlo, Zboril, Lohrei... Very strong in front of Swayman.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

His performances as a Bruin have earned him this deal.

He’s become a huge fan favourite as well.

 

[Mal Reynolds]

The infamous Vlasic contract kicked in when he was 31. Lindholm is just 28. There's definitely risk there but at least Boston will be getting more prime years. Vlasic's contract was almost entirely a loyalty contract and questionable from the moment the ink dried

 

[centipede2233]

He has to be with the team before the trade deadline. Which he obviously is in this case.

I like that, it promotes trading.

 

[Chips]

Will be very risky if it’s 7+ mil, solid enough if he’s at least a #3 for 3 or 4 years. Doesn’t really matter beyond the top forwards years

 

[quietbruinfan]

Glad talks are progressing, but think the contract will be 7.5 at least. It is too rich, but that said, I think Lindholm will like Boston.

 

[Mosby]

Mistake. Way too long for a player who is almost out of his prime.

Likely front-loaded, so it will be attractive for cap floor teams 2028 onward.

 

[DucksUnited]

Makes you really wonder why Anaheim didn’t get Lysell in this deal. Verbeek had to know this dude was going to sign tonight or tomorrow. A signed Lindholm basically for chump change

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

7M AAV for Lindholm is absolutely horrendous, he's not the same player he once was. Not sure why people think some of these Ducks players are the same guys who played big roles in their contending years in the mid 2010's.
