Hampus Lindholm

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 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.

The Boston Bruins signed Hampus Lindholm to an eight-year, $52 million extension Sunday, one day after acquiring the veteran defenseman in a trade with the ...

Hampus Lindholm has yet to play a game in a Bruins uniform, but the team ensured Sunday he'll be skating in plenty over the next eight seasons.

They sure are a better team now and in the future as well. Eight years is a lot for a player who just turned 28 in January and will be 36 when the contract expires. With Lindholm playing a more defensive role, that gives McAvoy more freedom to jump into the play and attack on the rush, knowing that he has a reliable partner opposite of him. But it's a much more reasonable cost with the extension coming as a result of the deal. Lindholm said on Sunday that while the Ducks offered more money, they did not want to give him eight years. Lindholm was set to be a free agent this offseason but instead, is locked in long-term with the Bruins.

The Bruins are fortifying their defense for the stretch run adding Anaheim defenseman Hampus Lindholm for three draft pick, Urho Vaakanainen and John Moore.

The Bruins made a big splash on Saturday, acquiring Hampus Lindholm. Read more on Boston.com.

With the Bruins holding a 38-19-5 record as of Saturday, it’s very likely that their top pick will be in the latter half of the first round. Moore, 31, signed a five-year, $13.75 million deal with the Bruins in 2018. Vaakanainen, 23, was the Bruins’ first-round pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft but struggled to get much time on the ice.

The Bruins completed a blockbuster trade Saturday by acquiring top-four defenseman Hampus Lindholm from the Ducks. Here are the full details of the deal.

Boston is all but locked into a Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs. The 28-year-old Sweden native is a top-four defenseman who boasts an impressive offensive skill set, with five goals and 17 assists in 61 games for Anaheim this season. Lindholm is on the final year of a six-year, $31.5 million contract and is set to hit free agency this offseason, but the B's have already contacted Lindholm's camp about a potential contract extension that would keep him in Boston past this season, TSN's Pierre LeBrun reports.

If reports are to be believed, the Bruins and Hampus Lindholm appear to be set to cross a big item off the “to-do” list. Pierre LeBrun. @PierreVLeBrun.

An eight-year deal would take Lindholm to 36 years old, which is quite a commitment for a team to make to a defenseman. As mentioned before, Lindholm is a pending unrestricted free agent, and whether or not he’s prepared to sign a new contract extension will go a long way toward determining whether or not the Bruins made a good move. If reports are to be believed, the Bruins and Hampus Lindholm appear to be set to cross a big item off the “to-do” list.

Lindholm is a pending unrestricted free agent and has 22 points in 61 games this season while averaging 22:32 of ice time per contest.

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.

As I've stated since arriving in Anaheim, our goal is to continue building a team that can compete for the Stanley Cup for the long haul. Boston is expected to try signing Lindholm to a long-term contract as well. Verbeek had spoken with Lindholm on the possibility of an extension, but as Anaheim continues to rebuild, the sides couldn't reach agreeable terms.

The Ducks are open for sale it seems, what with Josh Manson out the door and now it appears that Kevin Weekes, appearing from any number of locations he ...

All in all I expect Bruin fans, players, and management to fall in love with the reliable Swede and hopefully get to see him raise a cup when its all said and done this year.“ He shouldn’t be expected to put up a bunch of points, but he has enough skill and smarts to make a difference alongside the more talented forwards boston will ice every night. He has spent the year partnered with rookie defenseman Jamie Drysdale who is still learning the NHL and wasn’t drafted for his defensive impact to begin with.”

Taking a look at Hampus Lindholm's fit with the Bruins after Saturday's blockbuster trade to bring the 28-year-old to Boston.

The Boston Bruins are making a pretty significant upgrade to their defense before the NHL Trade Deadline on Monday afternoon.

The Bruins have been one of the hotter teams in the league in recent weeks and are starting to look like a legitimate contender again in a very tough and competitive Eastern Conference. Those two trades are a pretty good indicator that even though the Ducks have taken a big step forward this season in their rebuild they are not quite ready for a Stanley Cup Playoff spot this season and will be selling before Monday’s NHL Trade Deadline. Now all focus should turn to forward Rickard Rakell. The team is acquiring veteran defenseman Hampus Lindholm from the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday evening.

Lindholm is the type of defenseman you have on the ice (alongside McAvoy) late in the game with the Bruins leading by a goal or trailing by a goal. There wasn't enough depth or two-way talent to compete with contenders such as the Tampa Bay Lightning, Florida Panthers and Carolina Hurricanes. That's no longer the case after adding a premium top-four defenseman in Lindholm. The Swedish defenseman eats up a ton of minutes playing against the opponents' top-six forwards. Lindholm -- 22 points in 61 games this season -- adds another dynamic two-way skill set to the lineup. They couldn't overcome Carlo and Kevan Miller exiting the lineup with injuries. The likely scenario is Matt Grzelcyk sticking with Carlo given their recent success together.

"I think they already have a championship-caliber team. I've missed it the last few years (in Anaheim). I was very fortunate my first couple years to all be in the playoffs and even go a few rounds. I can only imagine (doing it) in Boston. There's a lot to be done to get there but I'm ready to go to battle with everyone." "For me, that was a tough decision, Lindholm said. The 28-year-old defenseman met with Boston reporters for the first time Sunday in a Zoom video call. It also reportedly includes a no-movement clause.
