Boston Bruins $54 Million Player Facing Major Demotion From The Organization

Just four days after the NHL trade deadline, the Boston Bruins are set to faceoff against Brad Marchand and his new team, the Florida Panthers.

Head coach Paul Maurice confirmed that Brad Marchand will not play today as he is still week-to-week, but he was on the ice for their skate at TD Garden, and was wearing a regular jersey.

Ahead of the game, a Boston Bruins forward is facing a major demotion from the organization.

Elias Lindholm has been on the Bruins top line all season with Brad Marchand, and his play of recent has been picking up, but it looks like the Bruins are not happy with how this season has went for him.

Today at morning practice, Elias Lindholm was seen on the third line with newcomers in Jakub Lauko, and Marat Khusnutdinov, a major demotion considering he's spent the majority of the year with Marchand on the top line.

Here are the lines the Bruins were rocking this morning:

Lindholm in the off-season signed a 7-year, $7.75 million ($54.25) contract with the Boston Bruins, but hasn't lived up to the hype.

This season Lindholm has just 11 goals, and 21 assists for 32 points in 65 games for the Boston Bruins. It's fair to say that he has been disappointing so far.
