The Bruins And Flames Are Set To Make A Massive Trade
After the retirements of Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci, the Boston Bruins urgently sought help at center, connecting with players like Elias Lindholm from the Calgary Flames.
Although Lindholm wasn't acquired before the season, the Flames' recent openness to trade offers presents a new opportunity for the Bruins.
The Flames, struggling with a 6-8-2 record, are considering offers for Lindholm, Chris Tanev, and Noah Hanifin, signaling potential changes.
Lindholm's availability aligns with the Bruins' need for a top-six center, especially considering their exciting rookies and solid starts from Coyle and Zacha.
Lindholm's slow start to the season (three goals, 11 points in 16 games) contrasts with his past performance, showcasing point-per-game potential.
His elite defensive play, finishing second in Selke Trophy voting in 2021-22, makes him a suitable replacement for Bergeron.
Lindholm could fit seamlessly into the Bruins' first-line center role, instantly boosting their top six. His addition would enhance both power-play and penalty kill units, given his offensive and defensive capabilities.
With the Flames open to offers for Lindholm, the Bruins should explore this opportunity, even if it means parting with valuable assets. The upcoming season will reveal if the Bruins make a move for Lindholm to strengthen their center depth.
