A major announcement was just made involving two Boston bruins members and it's huge for the organization
Boston Bruins forward Elias Lindholm's play in the IIHF World Championships is coming by storm, and a major announcement was huge made.
The Boston Bruins believed they were getting the once 100-point player with the Calgary Flames when
Elias Lindholm signed with the organization to a lengthy $54.5 million dollar deal.
His first season in Boston, compared to that price tag, wasn't a fair point producing year for his salary, but now things have changed following a major announcement.
Players can surely get burnt out playing in the NHL for so many years, as Elias Lindholm has done since the 2013 NHL draft where he was selected 5th overall.
The Swedish forward has quickly found his game through a step away moment from the NHL this off-season when he decided to accept Team Sweden's invite to represent his home country at the 2025 IIHF World Championships.
He has been incredible, while battling against current Bruins teammates on opposing team's countries, and it offers a glimpse of what Boston fans can expect this upcoming season.
The dominance being showcased at the World Champs surely does contrast with his seven-year, $54 million dollar deal signed.
Lindholm leads the tournament scoring charts with ten points in six games for Sweden, and is only tied with fellow Boston Bruins teammate
David Pastrnak, who is representing Team Czechia.
His 75% faceoff winning percentage may hint at the forward being back to 100% health as well, after suffering a back injury late in August that disrupted his training camp.
Lindholm is now facing the pressure to transform his international play to the NHL, do you think he can?
