Hampus Lindholm

Quelques heures après être passé des Ducks d'Anaheim aux Bruins de Boston, Hampus Lindholm a signé un contrat de huit saisons à un salaire annuel de 6,5 ...

Rappelons que Lindholm a été acquis par les Bruins, samedi soir, en retour d’un choix de 1er tour, deux choix de 2e tour, de même que les défenseurs Urho Vaakanainen et John Moore. Les Ducks ont ajouté le défenseur de la Ligue américaine Kodie Curran à l’équation. Il allait donc devenir joueur autonome sans compensation cet été, ce qui a été évité avec cette nouvelle entente. Le défenseur écoule présentement la dernière année d’un contrat de six ans et 31,5 millions (5,2 millions annuellement) signé avec les Ducks en 2016.

The Boston Bruins agreed to an eight-year, $52 million contract extension with defenseman Hampus Lindholm on Sunday, one day after acquiring him from the ...

The 6-foot-4, 216-pound defenseman has 57 goals and 165 assists in a nine-year NHL career. While Anaheim has missed the playoffs three straight years -- finishing last a season ago -- and is on pace to make it four in a row, Boston hasn't sat out since 2016. "They find ways to get in the mix and compete," said Lindholm, a 2012 first-round draft pick who had played his entire career in Anaheim. "I've missed it the last three years. Last year, Boston again lost in the second round after injuries left them weakened on defense. Through Saturday's games, Boston had 81 points, good for fourth place in the Atlantic Division. BOSTON -- Hampus Lindholm got to experience the playoffs in each of his first five NHL seasons.

The Ducks receive a trio of draft picks – a 2022 first-round selection and a pair of second-rounders in 2023 and 2024 – along with defensemen Urho Vaakanainen ...

Yet, the Bruins still have some intriguing options to pursue on the open market. Yet the Bruins are in win-now mode in the twilight of the Patrice Bergeron era. Now Sweeney turns his attention to fulfilling another need within the middle of Boston’s lineup. But the seventh-year general manager of the Bruins managed to fill a need and pulled off a big splash. Indeed, the Bruins paid a solid price to land the 28-year-old defenseman. The Sweeney and Lindholm camps are also reportedly working on a contract extension, according to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Freidman.

The Boston Bruins have signed defenseman Hampus Lindholm to an eight-year contract extension that will give him a cap hit of $6.5 million annually, ...

Moore has played seven games this season and has one year left on a five-year $13.75 million contract. Lindholm, 28, figures to help the Bruins' defensive depth and in the past has handled tough minutes against a playoff opponent’s top two lines in five-on-five play. As he did with another key blueliner Josh Manson, general manager Pat Verbeek followed through on his stated goal of trading potential unrestricted free agents that he either can’t re-sign or won’t keep.

The Boston Bruins made their first move of the trade deadline yesterday, acquiring defenseman Hampus Lindholm and defenseman Kodie Curran from the Anaheim ...

The Bruins just got out from under Moore’s deal, and this could be a new version of that deal toward the end of that contract. This season, he looked his best until a dirty hit from Yanni Gourde knocked him out of the lineup. Boston isn’t stacked when it comes to prospects, and ideally they need to be stocking up on draft picks instead of trading them away. The fact that the Duck retained 50% of Lindholm’s salary and took on John Moore’s contract is humongous in giving the Bruins more flexibility to make another move. Assuming the Bruins are able to sign the defenseman to the reported eight-year extension with an average annual value in the neighborhood of $6.5 million, Don Sweeney did a great job acquiring a quality defenseman while also locking him up for the future at a decent price. A key part of this also has to do with the finances involved with the deal.

The Boston Bruins threw their hat into the contender ring by trading for Anaheim Ducks' Hampus Lindholm, one of the top defencemen on the market, ...

{* traditionalSignIn_emailAddress *} {* traditionalSignIn_emailAddress *} {* traditionalSignIn_emailAddress *} {* traditionalSignIn_emailAddress *} {* traditionalSignIn_emailAddress *} General manager Pat Verbeek said in early February that he would trade the defenceman before the deadline if both sides are not able to come to an agreement on a deal.

The Bruins acquired Hampus Lindholm before the NHL trade deadline and already have agreed to a massive contract extension with the star defenseman.

The Bruins reaching an extension soon after completing the trade for Lindholm is not a surprise -- just look at what they gave up to get him. And if you add Jeremy Swayman to the mix on his rookie contract, all of a sudden you have an excellent foundation for a strong defensive team over the next several years. Locking up the former Ducks star for eight years and solidifying a blue line with a top four of Lindholm, Charlie McAvoy, Matt Grzelcyk and Brandon Carlo all signed through at least the 2023-24 season is a great situation for the Bruins.
