Shortly after the Boston Bruins made a blockbuster trade with the Anaheim Ducks for defenseman Hampus Lindholm they agree to terms on a long term contract extension. Lindholm was set to become a UFA at the end of this NHL season and would have had a lot of offers. Don Sweeney and the Bruins made sure to lock him up as a big part of the next Bruins core instead. In this video I break down the new contract, talk about Lindholm's value, where he fits into the lineup, and my final thoughts on the trade and the contract extension. Players talked about in this video include Hampus Lindholm, Charlie McAvoy, Brandon Carlo, Matt Grzelcyk, Derek Forbort, Mike Reilly, Jack Ahcan, Conor Clifton, Mason Lohrei, Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand, Jeremy Swayman, and Torey Krug.
