Jake DeBrusk and Charlie Coyle were The Hockey News picks for the mid-season Selke Trophy. The Boston Bruins are expected to have a very busy summer. Due to several contracts expiring, they will have a lot of money to work with. After a successful bridge year in 2023-24, they will surely push to improve their roster. When it comes to adding talent, their primary goal will be to bring in a first-line center. While Charlie Coyle and Pavel Zacha each had strong years, there is still no question that they would benefit greatly by adding a true 1C to their group. During Monday's edition of 32 Thoughts: The Podcast [https://www.sportsnet.ca/podcasts/32-thoughts/], NHL insider Elliotte Friedman said that he believes that the Bruins' top free-agent target heading will be Vancouver Canucks center Elias Lindholm. Elias Lindholm [https://thehockeynews.com/.image/c_fit,h_600,w_600/MjA2NTczNTI1NjQzODMwNDc2/usatsi_23242022-1.jpg] Elias Lindholm Friedman noted that the Bruins not only pursued Lindholm before he was dealt to the Canucks this season but have also been interested in him for a long time. With Lindholm potentially hitting the market and the Bruins having money, now is the perfect time for Boston to strike. Lindholm, 29. had a down regular season in 2023-24, posting 15 goals and 44 points in 75 games. However, he has since picked up his play big-time this postseason, recording five goals and nine points in 12 games thus far. Given how well Lindholm has played down the stretch, there is a chance that the Canucks will try to lock him up before he has the chance to hit the market. However, if he does not, expect Boston to make a major push to sign him. There is no question that the Bruins could use a high-impact two-way center on their roster, especially after losing Patrice Bergeron last offseason. Lindholm would give them that. Let's see if the Bruins finally land their No. 1 target this summer from here.
