Boston Bruins in the Trade Market? | Lindholm Calls Himself Out
Reports are circulating that the Boston Bruins are in the trade market, and they’re coming from Cam Neely and an NHL Insider.
I do a deep dive into who could be traded and what they could get back in return.
I also spoke to Cam Neely again about being in the media because he can’t get Jeremy Swayman’s name out of his mouth.
Elias Lindholm calls himself out to the Bruins media, saying he must be better.
I cover all of this Bruins news on the latest episode of Bruins Diehards.

Kadri is a dirtbag NOT a Bruin.
We need a stronger character leader. Be it a new veteran, a new coach or dare I say, a new Captain!
This is perfect Florida had issues and where were they at the all star break last year?
The Bruins are wicked out of shape and everyone is tradable. 😜
Bruins have been slipping away and at this point no trade, coach firing is going to change anything. Sweeney has sold us down the road with all these no trade clauses.
Heaven help the Bruins if they trade for that clown (Zegrasshole)! All he is is a trick shot specialist that doesn't have the first clue how to play hockey! He should stick to lacrosse! He's not a serious hockey player and will never last as an NHL pro.
Boston never should have let Tyler Bertuzzi go. Pasta and Tyler clicked big time. I say get him back.
Shocking to hear how many players have no trade clauses. Pasta, sure, core. Zacha really?
Honestly, they should have tried everything under the sun to get Crosby to come over before he extended. They don't have a true #1 centre and arguably just barely have a #2 in Lindholm. Coyle may be the best 3rd line centre in the entire NHL, but neither he nor Zacha are top 6 guys, meaning that Zacha could go if they did get a true top centre. Sid and Marchand have wicked chemistry, and with the Penguins sinking faster than the Titanic, he might eventually be willing to let the whole one-team-for-life notion go. Throw Zacha, Zadorov (who hasn't really fit in with the Bs), and whatever other scraps (the worst couple of prospect you've got) into an offer and Kyle Dumbass would probably jump at it. He's so stupid he'd likely even retain a ton of Sid's salary! The hardest part of the deal would be getting Sid to let go of the Penguins fading hope, but he and Marchy are great buds, so he might just do it—particularly if Malkin is kicking around the idea of retiring at the end of this season (as has been rumoured) and Letang wants to finish his career with the Habs.
we dont need new player – we need a coach that could use the one we have – he needs be able to implement an playing style that fits the player we have.
Montgomery should have been fired after the 1st series debacle with Florida. Fire him now.
I think you're full of it. Cam nearly never said a word until Swayman took this to the limit. And because Swayman never played a minute until the season began he left his teammates hanging out to dry through all of the physical regimen and preseason games. I don't care how much he says he was "working"on his own. And there is no doubt in my mind that a netminder with barely a full year of experience and roughly a half a seasons worth of starts asking for what he was asking also frosted more than a couple of people. Do not lay one comment by Cam Neely on this. There's no doubt in my mind that swayman has alienated more than a couple of teammates and created a rift in the room. The b's not only changed over a fair amount of personnel but they also changed change their make up from a team that was more talent than tough to a much heavier style of play. This is going to take time to begin with and having Swayman be the fly in the ointment was the last thing they needed.
I have 64 million reasons why they suck. And Zegras is trash. Algorithm FTW.
Did this guy actually suggest Kadri? The day they bring that puke in the Bruins room is the day i stop watching Bruins Hockey
Forget Zegras, give me Crouse off of Utah to play with Past and Zacha on line 1
Swayman struggling? Maybe, but part of it is having a dismal PK and top rank in penalties. Many goals on Swayman, and Korpi for that matter, have the D out of position. Can’t dig to get puck out of zone, and on and on.
Chemistry is lacking for unknown reasons. We have the talent and I think Monty and Brad need to step up and light a fire – somewhere.
Fire cam nearly
Cam Neely should be traded ha ha
I am QUICKLY losing patience w/ Neely
the B's need more scoring. I'd love to see E.Lindholm get going. I'd love to see Zacha, too.
And, someone to replace H.Lindholm, at the blue line
Freddie needs a couple days on the top floor watching a game or three.
I'm not a fan of any players you mentioned. I don't know who is really available right now for forwards. I would like to see them try to make a deal with Utah to be honest. I like the speed they have
Fire cam nearly the Bruins don’t know how to make a deal if you make deals like Don Sweeney socks he should lose his job, not the coach him and Nelly
Realistically this team has no shot at winning the Stanley Cup. And there is no fix available that can save this season. So they should go into the trade deadline as seller, instead of buyer, like they always are. Teams will be a little more desperate and pay more for the talent they think they need to get over the hump. Get some assets and then hire someone that knows how to evaluate talent and score in the draft. I love the Bruins (and have for 60 years) but I have to be honest and know this team is fractured. Time for a retool.
They are overthinking every move they make. They’re not playing by instinct. Trying to make the perfect plays and screwing up the timing of most of their plays. When you’re afraid of making mistakes you will make mistakes by overthinking.
Yup! This is going to be a long night.
Odd that when the Bruins had both Swayman and Ullmark they were so dominant. Trade Ullmark and give Swayman a big contract and the wheels fall off ? So the reason is Swayman. The current Bruins are so bad its not funny anymore. Since they arent able to generate offense why dont they play a tighter defensive style?
Why would you pay 8pluss million for an unproven full time goal tender?I think they are getting what they deserve.I am a Bruins Fan but Cam KNEESly has to go.
And if you as a team feel you were held ransom by a selfish player, you wouldn't want your competition to know. Then you can trade him for assets. He isn't that good of a goalie
Hind sight is 20-20 I know but I wish it was Swayman playing for the Senators instead of Uhllmark. Right now , it's sad to say , Korpisalo has the better numbers.
I just wanted to share my anger over the steaming CBJ game before you make it. Absolute hot wet @55
When the Blue Jackets scored their second short handed goal, I actually laughed out loud tonight. I then realized I hadn’t been yelling at my TV all night. No chiding the home team for their constant backing ins, lack of effort, nor the many mishandlings. That’s when it dawned on me, I am no longer watching the games with any optimism. I am now watching the games to see if they can outdo themselves on their ineptness ! Unfortunately, they do not disappoint !
what about nick schmaltz, mantha, or jack roslovic?
Can we trade out this management team???SWEENEY/NELLY YOUR FIRED!!!!!
NOT Nazem Kadri. Although he’s matured, I recall him costing the Leafs two playoff series losses against the Bruins (2018 and 2019?) by taking bad penalties. That was hilarious. BUT not unlike 2014-2015/2015-2016 when Bruins missed the playoffs by just a couple of games: they played great in most of December of 2014 and 2015, then hit a skid late in the month because Marchand slew-foots and gets suspended 2-3 games (twice in consecutive years), THEN they play that stupid gimmick outdoor hockey game (that just screws up the team’s routine). And couldn’t recover the mojo they had in early to mid December.
All you get are excuses….. swayman shoulda never been signed…..a complete shit show
He's high paid waste just like 88 😂
Of course they haven't seriously worked with their special teams –
PK? The starting goalie wasn't at training camp.
Elias and Max Jones were in and out.
I wouldn't count zegers out. But I think Bruins and numerous teams already looked him over fairly seriously.
Lots of scuttlebutt he'd end up in Montreal playing with his buddy Cole Caulfield.
I figured if Montreal didn't want him?
He wasn't going anywhere.
(I wish the best of luck to Zegras. I understand he's struggling)
Frankly, it sounds like Cam Neely might be a little nervous about his job security.
Now that you've mentioned all those potential trades in the media, they're not going to happen! Lol!
All of this is beyond my pay grade… just trying to be a hockey fan!
3 months ago when I tripped on to this podcast?
I never imagined you'd have to get stuck talking about this stuff.
And I'm betting you didn't either.
Thanks for the update -another tough game tonight.
Go B's!
🐻
Find a way to steal Brady from Ottawa
Players, Coaches, and GM's come and go.
But the Bruins will always remain.
Go Bruins.
Neely collapsed the entire Bruins organization with that one comment.
The bruins not slippering away . Its just players need to work it together i dont know if the players forgot who they playing for BRUINS!!!!. The coach needs to work with them on powerplay n penalty. Why not try other players for change in power play like Lohrei, Zadorov, Koepke, Brazeau, Beecher or Federic sse what happens. Switch it up. But its going to be hard if u was try to trade any players make the team more tougher. But i wouldnt trade Federic at all has the heart of the team . Ill move Geekie at $2m would help on cap . But bruins not that bad their something going on we dont kno about . But the coach needs to have talk to players so they dont over preasure themselves. Take game at a time thats all. Hopefully they can turn around Sway is sway .
Fire Neely, keep Montgomery, and beg Bobby Orrs forgiveness, and ask him to be the President ! Eagleson Really screwed the Bruins for years in that regard !
looking to trade anyone for WHAT? or WHO? they are top 5 in goals allowed , they are #1 in short handed goals allowed maybe it is the system and the players and the management. the more we try to analyze the issues we tend to ignore the obvious. decisions from the top are the biggest cause. Zegras- head case, Hall been there done that (has been) look at all the players that have been traded or let go and are having success on other teams.
LTIR is a Vegas staple. The Bruins need high end top6 forward. Go for it!
I think the team identity is over used. Know thyself and know your opponents. You can't run and gun with some teams. Defense first is always a hockey axiom.
they should just accept that they'll suck für the next 10 years and do nothing
If Anyone Should have Hard Feelings it Should Be The Fan's! CAM NEELEY HE'S BEEN DOING NOTHING BUT HURTING THE B's ! He Started Trading Away 1st Round Draft Pick's +He Got Absolutely Nothing In Return+The same with Key Plyr's Like Johnny Boychuck, Tyler Seguin, Jerome Iginla Etc.
