The Bruins signed one of the top free agents this summer in Elias Lindholm and the Canucks seem to be happy that the did not pay for him.

Lindholm got a $7.75 Million AAV from the Bruins which the Canucks believe is an overpay for the forward despite having proved he is a top NHL forward.

"This is another example of overpaying for a need. The Boston Bruins need a number-one center, and identified Elias Lindholm as the solution. They attempted to trade for him this past season, but couldn't finalize a deal. They only had to wait a few more months to sign him to a massive extension.

The Bruins signed Lindholm to a seven-year deal with an AAV of $7.75 million. It's a huge commitment for a player with just two seasons of 70 points or more over 11 NHL seasons. He's historically a 50-point player, and the Bruins are paying him like he is Patrice Bergeron.

Lindholm will improve the Bruins, that isn't up for debate. He may even reach the 70-point mark again, but there's a far better chance that he underperforms for the next seven seasons, and the Bruins will still need a number-one center."


While this seems like the Canucks trying to justify losing Lindholm, the centreman has a lot to prove when he shows up in Boston after a mediocre season last year.
