According to this rumor, the Bruins are heavily interested in trading for Elias Lindholm. The Flames are coming off a down season and could be looking to shake up their core under their new General Manager. In this potential deal, Lindholm would head to the Bruins along with veteran Flame Mikael Backlund.
For the Flames they get a bit of a roster reset after a disappointing 2022-23 season. A couple of veterans head out for a younger DeBrusk. Jake DeBrusk is heading into the best hockey of his career and is a legit goal-scoring threat. This would balance out the Flames forward core better than it currently is.
