Bruins linked To A Big Named Defenseman
After several disappointing seasons with the Vancouver Canucks, Oliver Ekman-Larsson finds himself in search of a fresh start.
The Canucks made efforts to trade him in order to rid themselves of his hefty contract, but with no takers, they ultimately had to resort to a costly buyout worth $19.3 million.
Now released from his obligations, Ekman-Larsson becomes an intriguing option for teams in need of a skilled defenseman.
The Boston Bruins, Carolina Hurricanes, Detroit Red Wings, Florida Panthers, NY Islanders, Seattle Kraken, Tampa Bay Lightning, and Vegas Golden Knights have all been mentioned as potential suitors.
These teams boast solid defensive lineups, providing Ekman-Larsson with an opportunity to contribute without facing excessive pressure.
Additionally, the Lightning and Bruins have a reputation for revitalizing players, while the Red Wings seem actively involved in offseason acquisitions.
Ekman-Larsson's availability and adjusted salary make him an attractive asset on the market.
