Viktor Arvidsson starts fresh in Boston after a tough season with the Edmonton Oilers. The Swedish winger traded this out of season and says that the Bruins became completely logical. He wants to bounce back after such a season, in which he was signed as a solution for a top-six problem in Edmonton. It wasn’t him.
Arvidsson had a no-trade clause, but he agreed to refrain from his move to Boston.
“Edmonton and I agreed that a new situation would be the best,” Arvidsson told Hockeysigige.se. “Boston is hard -working, defensively strong and the fans are passionate. I am excited to bring some offense to the line -up.”
“We looked a bit on the market and I agreed with Edmonton that it was best for me to find something new that would fit better. It ended with Boston who was interested, and I think it would really be fun …
Arvidsson also chose De Bruins because of the selection
One of the reasons why Arvidsson came to the oilers was to play with Mattias Ekholm. The defender sold his friend about the benefits of playing for a top team with first -class facilities. Although the environment may be different, Arvidsson also has a few faces in Boston. That played a key role in his comfort level that was traded there.
“It will be nice to play with Hampus and Elias Lindholm. Fabian Lysell is there too, and having other Sweden in the team is a bonus,” he added.
After having scored 27 points in 67 games with Edmonton, Arvidsson wants to regain his peak shape of LA and Nashville. Bruins GM Don Sweeney expects he has an impact on the Power Play and Slot in as the second line right wing, which offers a boost for Boston’s attack and helps to insist on a play-off run.
