You have to think that they are calling about Lindholm.

He would instantly become their most important C even if it was in a 2C capacity as far as icetime goes, would be joining a team that knows the window is closing but still has a ton of good pieces, and has one of the better travel scheds in the NHL, and still has a top5 blueline and goaltending.

They may also be a team that could extend his career at a decent dollar if thats also a consideration.

Im just not sure what they would offer that Conroy and Co. might bite on.

Iggy could sell Boston to Backlund I bet. He liked it there despite no cups.

Boston will be fascinating this year as I can't see them ever getting better center play for 3.5 million than they got last year. So that's two really good centers out of the lineup that cost like 4% of the cap that they need to replace. Will be interesting to see how that impacts them! They're a good team, but they just had a big time outlier season, and are out two of their top 4 forwards. Might be closer to 97 points than the 107 they had in 2021/2022.
