True, but of all the players Drury would move to "clear cap", Lindgren would be one of the last.

The Bruins have $21.7 million in cap space going into next off-season with the following already under contract:

Marchand - Coyle - Geekie
??? - Zacha - Pastrnak
??? - Frederic - ???
Lauko - Beecher - Brazeau

Lindholm - McAvoy
Lohrei - Carlo
Wotherspoon - Peeke

Ullmark
???

-Poitras will likely slot into the 3rd line C role next season and has a $870k cap hit
New Cap Space: $20.8 million

-Lysell put up a solid year in Providence and could slot into middle 6 role with a $863k cap hit
New Cap Space: $19.9 million

I'm still in the boat that Swayman is going to get around $7 million a year on an 8yr deal
New Cap Space: $12.9 million

So let see where we sit now:

Marchand - Coyle - Geekie
??? - Zacha - Pastrnak
Frederic - Poitras - Lysell
Lauko - Beecher - Brazeau

Lindholm - McAvoy
Lohrei - Carlo
Wotherspoon - Peeke

Swayman
Ullmark

Lets factor $1 million per the healthy scratches of the roster. The Bruins are sitting just shy of $10 million in cap space and would be looking for a top 6 winger. $7 million could land a pretty solid winger for the top 6.

Marchand - Coyle - Geekie
($7M) - Zacha - Pastrnak
Frederic - Poitras - Lysell
Lauko - Beecher - Brazeau

Lindholm - McAvoy
Lohrei - Carlo
Wotherspoon - Peeke

Swayman
Ullmark

Extra FWD ($1M)
Extra DEF ($1M)
Extra FWD/DEF ($1M)

Cap Sapce: Roughly $2.9 million

With the cap going up, I doubt you’ll see many discounts. In fact, I think it maybe the other way around but I do expect an extension either way

There are a ton of options. I’m pretty confident that Sweeney has the support staff in place where he will make the necessary trade offs that all teams need to make.
