Boston Bruins to trade a top-six player: "His trade value is at an all time high"

Last year's underwhelming performance from this Original Six franchise ultimately led the organization to depart with some major talents, in attempt to retool the Bruins into bigger and better contenders.

And it looks like the Boston Bruins might just depart with a new face in hopes to pursuit their ongoing retool.

That player is Boston Bruins forward, Elias Lindholm.

The former first-round pick (5th overall) for the Carolina Hurricanes in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft was acquired by the Boston Bruins on July 1, 2024.

He is entering his second season of his seven-year, $7.75 million deal with Boston, where he is set to become an unrestricted free agent (UFA) in 2031, at the age of 36.

This 28-year old completed a full season within Boston during his 2024/25 NHL campaign, where he accumulated 17 goals, 30 assists, totalling at 47 points within 82 games.

And while those numbers are decent, this forward has been making airwaves thus far in Boston this season.

Within the Bruins' first five games of the 2025/26 NHL regular season, Lindholm has acquired two goals, three assists, totalling at five points.

Due to his recent gameplay, new insight has speculated that the Boston Bruins might just use this talent as a trade asset rather than keeping him on the organization's roster.

Do you think the Boston Bruins should use Elias Lindholm as a trade asset?

This question has begun circulating due to the fact Lindholm may be on a streak now, but it is uncertain what he will be able to put up in the future.
