Quoting: princessTom
Lindholm and Fischer are garb, not worth the money
Hope Heinen gets paid, but not in BOS
Theyd be silly to run it back with the goalie tandem again, get value for Ullmark while you can, plus they have 2 solid goalies in Providence, cant just let them rot there forever
1. If they can get value for Ullmark, I’m fine with trading him. I’m also OK letting Bussi sit on the NHL roster as a 3rd goalie if they can’t. With our cap position next year, we should be able to afford it.
2. Losing Heinen would be stupid unless he believes he can make more the. $2.25m on the open market. He fits what Montgomery likes and would be a low cost flyer that can improve a line.
3. Lindholm is coming off a bad year where you can look at circumstance and understand why. At the beginning of the year, he would have been the best case scenario acquisition in free agency for the Bruins.
4. it sure looks like Don Sweeney isn’t letting this one year cloud his judgement or he wouldn’t have tried to acquire him twice asking to tie him up long term. Fully anticipating a 7 year offer between 6.75 and 7.5M to Lindholm from Boston. Wouldn’t be shocked at a 5 year offer over that number. His play this year warrants some level of discount front eg Scheifele or Hovart deals, but it’s reactionary to disregard his 6 years before this past year.
5. If you’re signing DeBrusk, my assumption is you are pursuing a D in free agency instead of Lindholm.
