3 Offseason Free-Agent Destinations for Bruins' Viktor Arvidsson

After a rough 2024-25 season with the Edmonton Oilers, Viktor Arvidsson bounced back in a big way for the Boston Bruins this campaign. In 69 regular-season games with Boston, he had 25 goals and 54 points. With numbers like these, he proved he can still be an impactful top-six winger, and he should generate plenty of interest if he decides to test the free-agent market this summer because of it.

Due to this, let's look at three teams that could sign Arvidsson this summer if the Bruins don't extend him.

Los Angeles Kings

Could a reunion between Arvidsson and the Kings come to fruition? It is no secret that he had a strong tenure there, and the Kings are in need of more scoring. Because of this, it would make sense if they tried to bring back Arvidsson on a short-term deal this offseason.

Tampa Bay Lightning

The Lightning should be on the hunt for a middle-six winger with skill this summer, so it would be understandable if they had Arvidsson on their radar this offseason. He could fit very nicely at their second line right wing spot and would give them another clear option for their power play. However, even if he played on their third line, he would have the potential to provide them with more secondary scoring.

Columbus Blue Jackets

The Blue Jackets could be another team to keep an eye on when it comes to Arvidsson. After missing the playoffs this year, they should be looking to boost their top nine during the offseason. Bringing in Arvidsson would do just that, and he could also be a good veteran player for Columbus' younger players to have around as a mentor.
