Elias Lindholm's name has been linked to potential trades, but signs suggest he might continue with the Calgary Flames rather than joining the ranks of the traded.
Targeting Mikael Backlund
Sources suggest that the Bruins are showing interest in Mikael Backlund, a center from the Flames, as part of a trade deal involving Jake DeBrusk's return to Calgary.
DeBrusk's Trade Speculations
Trade rumors continue to circulate around Jake DeBrusk, despite his improved performance in the previous season, raising questions about his future with the Bruins.
According to recent buzz, a speculated trade could see Jake DeBrusk heading to Calgary in exchange for Mikael Backlund, who would come with 25% salary retention, along with a 3rd-round draft pick in the 2024 draft. The draft pick sweetens the deal due to Backlund's age at 34.
While DeBrusk's contributions to the Bruins have been notable, the team's quest for a center makes Backlund a potential solution, highlighting the dynamic and unpredictable nature of the NHL trading landscape.
