Boston Bruins Left With No Choice But To Trade Away Star Player
The Flames Nation podcast panel recently shared their observations, suggesting that Elias Lindholm might be more inclined to leave Calgary than focus on securing a lucrative contract.
According to one host, Lindholm appears more determined to exit the town than capitalize on a substantial deal, while another hinted that he would welcome a trade offer he could endorse. This speculation has given rise to discussions about Lindholm potentially playing in a manner indicative of someone seeking a trade, and the current focus is on finding a deal that aligns with Lindholm's preferences.
Rumors have circulated regarding the Boston Bruins' interest in Lindholm. However, teams harbor concerns about the potential financial demands Lindholm might make in his next contract. While his current cap hit of $4.85 million is not necessarily a hindrance, the looming uncertainty arises if Lindholm seeks $9 million or more per season in his upcoming deal. This added complexity raises questions about the willingness of teams to engage in a trade for the forward, particularly considering the potentially challenging negotiations that lie ahead.
Notably, if the Boston Bruins are keen on acquiring Lindholm, it appears they may have no choice but to part ways with a star player to make the financial aspects of the deal work. This introduces an additional layer of intricacy to the potential trade scenario, emphasizing the tough decisions that teams may face in their pursuit of Lindholm.
