Elias Lindholm was an elite forward when he played for the Calgary Flames. He was often paired with Matthew Tkachuk, and Johnny Gaudreau before the trio was broken up, and scattered.
After the Flames sent Tkachuk to Florida, Lindholm would make his way to Vancouver after spending the majority of his career in Calgary.
He would be signed with the Bruins this free agency and held promise as one of the Bruins' best forwards.
Lindholm has played 54 games for the Bruins this season and scored 28 points (9G, 19 A) and makes a whopping $7 million.
On January 8th, fans called for Sweeney to be fired.
After his big spending this off-season, the team is 6th in the Atlantic Division with a record of 26-22-6 and 58 points.
They're struggling for a wild card spot in the Eastern Conference under Head Coach Joe Sacco.
Should the Bruins fire Don Sweeney?
This could turn out to be like 2016 when the Bruins weren't good enough to find a way to make the playoffs.
It feels as if this could be a make-it or break-it season for the team, and if there was justice Neely, and Sweeney would be removed from the front office.
This is a sentiment that is spreading like wildfire among Boston Bruins fans.
It's hard to disagree with them, as he's been in the front office for over a decade and has failed to win the Stanley Cup as an executive.
