I think Bruins would accept if a) they can get these two long term and b) they move out other contracts to fit the cap

Caps hard pass

Bruins accept if Hanafin and Lindholm sign long-term

Pens decline

Take out the three second rounders and the Caps still say no.

I think you are overrating Frederic and I think you could do better trading Hanifin and Lindholm to different teams. As it stands, Boston would say yes and then figure out the cap stuff.

I do think Boston will be more than sniffing around both those guys, just don't think Boston can actually offer a package that gets both of them in Boston.
