Lindholm and Hanifin extend for roughly 8x8.5m and 8x7m (give or take 0.5m) respectively.

I think this is too rich for Boston. They like all the players included too much. Plus if they are “all in” they need the scoring* DeBrusk is supposed to supply.

Boston is the last team i am dealing with because they have no picks and Poitras is really there best prospect,but im not seeing a real high ceiling at the world juniors.so this trade breaks down like this for me.the 1st in 2026 and Lohrei for Hanifin,ok? but its the rest that doesnt do it for me.Poitras a 3rd and Debrusk who is barely a top 6 winger,for Lindholm.i would need a 1st,which Boston doesnt have instead of the 3rd,and Debrusk doesnt interest me,he is what he is at this point,and doesnt move the needle.and like i said Poitras doesnt really get me that excited.just like Ritchie and the avs 1st doesnt do it for me either for Lindy,but at least they have a 1st.i prefer Byram for Lindy with Girard coming back to replace Byram.But Hanifin who is from the the area makes sense,but how about the 1st in 2026 and former 2nd pick Poitras for him.i think Hanifin brings a 1st and 2nd just like Hronek did.and Poitras is worth more than a 2nd at this point,but the Bruins 1st isnt till 2026.

DeBrusk isn't important to Calgary, he's only in there for cap purposes. He makes the most sense for that because he makes the right amount of money and he's a pending UFA. Brandon Carlo would work too but I don't think Boston would give him up on top of Lohrei. Gryzelcyk, no thanks, not with him being signed for another year after this season.

Does Lindholm sign for that low? Doubtful. Bruins should just enjoy this season and go big game hunting with all the cap space they will have next year. They have struggled to have prospects come up and make a difference, it finally happens this year with Lohrei, Poitras, and Beecher and they are going to throw away that future cap flexibility when they can just go sign guys in the offseason?

You wont have to worry to much, the Bruins wouldn't part ways with all those assets to land Noah and Elias. Bruins likely go bargain hunting at the deadline and then go UFA shopping next summer.

I think he'll sign for that if it's with a top contender he thinks he could win a cup with.
