The Anaheim Ducks have traded defenseman Hampus Lindholm to the Boston Bruins for a 2022 first-round pick, 2023 second-round pick, 2024 second round pick and maybe a young player.
Cap Friendly: “#Bruins have $1,053,726 in projected c/space which is the equivalent of a $5,017,743 AAV, and a full 23 man roster. Meaning that once they assign a player to make room for Lindholm they would have enough cap space to make the deal and not have to trade anyone off their roster.”
Puck Pedia: “Since this deal will be official after 5pm Eastern, it will count tomorrow for cap purposes. The #NHLBruins $1.077M Projected Cap Space can fit $5.25M Annual Cap Hit tomorrow, just enough for Lindholm’s $5.205M Cap Hit.”
Pete Blackburn: “I might be completely fine with this if there’s a palatable extension attached to it”
Frozen Tools: “Hampus Lindholm traded to #NHLBruins He has never been a major offensive contributor. No individual stat jumps out but overall he offers a good combination for multi-category leagues. Ice time might take a small hit…”
Hampus Lindholm’s play has slipped in recent years, but he should have more support in Boston. The defender can prevent zone entries and help bring the puck out with control. pic.twitter.com/drJUlvfLlc
