NHL Insider Leaks The Boston Bruins Next Move And It's A Blockbuster

A few months back, there was word that he turned down a massive contract extension—something around 9 million a year for 8 years. But, let's face it, Lindholm's performance has taken a hit since Gaudreau and Tkachuk left, making it doubtful that the Flames will offer him a similar deal.

With free agency on the horizon next summer, trade rumors are swirling, and there's talk of a possible deal before this year's deadline.

Adding a dash of excitement, the Bruins, dealing with a bunch of injured players, are on the lookout for some backup to up their chances at the Stanley Cup.

The inside scoop from NHL guru Pierre Lebrun points to the Bruins as top contenders for Lindholm. According to LeBrun's recent talk on Insider Trading, there's a chance we might see a trade around March 8, with the Boston Bruins and Colorado Avalanche looking like front-runners in the Lindholm sweepstakes.
