A healthy Forbort is a great shot blocker and hitter

He was only in Vancouver for like half a year. Last time he had a full season with a team he put up 42 goals

Actually he scored 42 goals in the 2021-22 season when he was line mated with Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Tkachuk where all 3 had 40+ Goal season. The following season after Calgary traded away Gaudreau and Tkachuk, Lindholm only scored 22 Goals in his last full season with Calgary. So in order to make the most of this signing, the Bruins need to put Lindholm between Marchand and Pastrnak if they want to have one real good line. With Debrusk gone they no longer have a second line, so might as well have Marchand go back on the same line with Pastrnak. Unfortunately, the Bruins no longer have any more secondary scoring depth anymore With Debrusk and Heinen gone.

Lindholm had one good year, then cemented himself as a mid 2c/3c. Ive not been impressed with his game and very thankful vancouver did not sign him.

DeBrust had 19 goals, he might be missed killing penalties thats it.

everybody seems to have a bad case of recency bias with lindholm. he wasn't great with vancouver after the deadline that is true, but he was shipped off as a rental into a boisterous offense with the canucks so it was understandable when he struggled to find his place immediately, but he also had 10 points and was +4 in 13 playoff games with them. the guy has been an incredible two-way center for his whole career and showed he had the scoring chops on offense too with his 42 goal season with the flames. idk why people are so skeptical about him

@@laplante1 because the recent bias suggests that he was a coattail rider in Calgary being carried by Tkachuk and Gaudreau. What they don't realize is that Gaudreau is worse off without the other two than Lindholm was, even though he was supposedly the best player of the three. And we don't need to talk about Tkachuk, his biggest contributions were dragging his team into the fight, more than the scoring. I would argue that it's Lindholm who really drove that line, not the other two. You wanna know why he has struggled the last two seasons? They took his 100% chemistry wingers away from him and expected him to perform the same with 0% chemistry Huberdeau who was the worst fit for a Darryl Sutter, North-South system. Lindholm is now exactly where he needs to be to revitalize his career. He's got many guaranteed years ahead to develop chemistry with Pasta and Zacha. Fresh start, fresh hockey soul. Let's fuckin go boys.

I'm more disappointed about Boqvist not being qualified than anybody else leaving. That guy was like Nordstrom with better offensive skills. Very speedy too.

Interesting that we get Lindholm (a streaky player) to replace DeBrusk (a streaky player)

Thanks for watching man! I appreciate when you pop in!

I have been following the team since 1989. I am please with the additions. I don't recall so much major moves on a july 1st. I think both Lindholm and Zadorov will be push by the players and the spoke B to be even better same for Poitras and Lohrei as 2nd season. A- for me. I think Sway will sign for 7.5 8yrs Cheers from Québec, Canada

These ex Bruins albeit beloved by me were not getting it done . Debrusks inconsistency, Forrest constantly hurt , Griz mistakes at the worse time.. Etc. Donny had to shuffle the deck . I love the moves .

Yes in the right direction.but need more pieces to a cup contender.keep it rollin

Yes. The loss of Debrusk is not meaningless but also a huge overreaction. He wanted 6M a year to score 18 goals. I’ll pass. Lysell will fill that role. We needed a top line center more than we needed to pay a player who didn’t want to stay here 6M a year. They are better. I understand why people might not love the contracts but that’s the price of doing business in a players’ market. They got their guys.

Potras , Beecher , Peaker, Braz , all showed grit and determination . Let them play I say .

Wonder if they took a shot at Stamkos. Not sure what kind of offers they got for Ullmark but the demand for top caliber goalies should have gotten more in return. The past goalie trades do not matter. Looking at what goalies are available should have been the only bargaining chip that mattered. Yeah they got better on D but could have gotten better at center and lost a huge piece in net for a bag of nickels. But so long as they are good enough to beat the Leafs I am fine with the Bruins. They are a good team in a tough conference and needed to deal Ullmark so as fun as it is to play armchair GM my guess is not worth squat. Swayman will be looking to get paid and term will be a huge factor so the Bruins need to pay up.

I'm excited to see what Lindholm can do. Bruins were in desperate need of a center, say what you want about him, but he is a massive upgrade from what he Celtics had. Losing Debrusk & Grizlyck hurts, but I know they wouldn't keep everyone.

I hope Lindholm plays like the best version of himself. Trust me I want him to be great and make that deal look like a steal! I think Zacha will be moved to wing which will allow him to be more offensive. I like Zacha and felt he did a solid job down the middle but I think on the wing he could be more dynamic. Gryz and Debrusk were with the Bruins for years and I wish them well but it seemed the writing was on the wall for awhile

Lindholm just wasnt what he should have been in Vancouver, but maybe he plays better in a different line or with a different style?

Swayman at 6.5 Mil for 3yrs? Geekie is definitely not a top line winger I agree.

Yes they did Lindholm and Zadorov is what the team was lacking last year now they just need another scorer and there all set.

I think it’s a solid defense, I just want to see how the 3rd pairing does. Does Lohrei take another step? I love Lohrei’s game and I think he will be a stud for the future. Peeke and Wotherspoon are solid bottom pairing guys. If Lohrei takes another step and Hampus bounces back to his prior level (which I believe he can) then I think the Bruins have one of the best dcores in the league.

Lindholm is an actual first line center. I can't believe how well Boston did last year without a first line center. This will be a huge upgrade. He's better than Pavel Zacha. The defense was supposed to be good last year and wasn't. Loss of Grezlyk and Forbort and adding Zadorov doesn't make them better. Five million is too much for a third pair defenseman but he'll be okay. Korpisalo is a good useful average NHL goalie. He will do well in Boston. Good riddance to Debrusk. The Bruins will be better.
