What the Bruins would Have Had to Give up For Lindholm Revealed
Late Wednesday night the new broke that the Vancouver Canucks have acquire star Elias Lindholm via trade with the Calgary Flames. Here is a look at the details of the trade:
To #Flames:
2024 1st Rd Pick
Cond. 2024 4th Rd Pick
Andrei Kuzmenko
Joni Jurmo
Hunter Brzustewicz
To #Canucks:
Elias Lindholm
This is similar to the haul that the Bruins would have given up. Rumored trade details that were making rounds had the Bruins giving up:
2025 1st round pick
Matthew Poitras
Trent Frederick
While it may seem as a pretty good trade for the Bruins, it's a tough sell when you analyze it further. Losing Frederick, you're losing a lot grit in your bottom six, which the Bruins don't have much of to begin with. Matthew Poitras, while struggling right now, is a tremendous player who is only 19 and has played at a high level with the Bruins already. Lastly the first-round pick is hard because, you don't have any pick in the first 3(!) rounds this year. If you're looking at restocking your prospects, you can't keep giving away draft picks.
GM Don Sweeny in all likelihood thought about all of this and did what was best for the Bruins, kept his team intact. The Bruins are looking to be buyers at the deadline, however, not for prices that high.
