Arvidsson was traded to Boston from Edmonton on Tuesday in exchange for a 2027 fifth-round draft pick, Ryan Rishaug of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arvidsson's move comes as effectively a cap dump by the Oilers, but it should provide him with an opportunity to secure a top-six role with the Bruins. Despite averaging 1:06 of power-play ice time in the 2024-25 regular season, Arvidsson managed just three points with the man advantage. If he can secure a bigger role in Boston, the 32-year-old Swede should be capable of pushing for both the 20-goal and 40-point marks in 2025-26.

Arvidsson logged an assist and two hits in Friday's 5-4 double-overtime loss to the Panthers in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
EDGE Analysis
Arvidsson saw a playoff-high 15:39 of ice time in the double-overtime defeat. The 32-year-old has a goal and two helpers during his modest three-game point streak, which is mildly impressive since he's seeing bottom-six minutes. The winger has seven points, 24 shots on net, 15 hits and a plus-4 rating over 13 playoff contests.

Arvidsson scored a goal on four shots and added three hits in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
EDGE Analysis
Arvidsson provided a quick response to Sam Bennett's second goal of the game early in the second period. This ended a nine-game goal drought for Arvidsson, who found himself a healthy scratch during parts of the second round and Western Conference Finals. He is poised to stay in the lineup now that Zach Hyman (wrist) is done for the remainder of the playoffs. Arvidsson has contributed six points, 23 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-4 rating over 12 playoff appearances.

Arvidsson recorded two assists and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Golden Knights in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Arvidsson helped out on second-period tallies by Jake Walman and Vasily Podkolzin. This was Arvidsson's first multi-point effort since Jan. 4 versus the Kraken. In the playoffs, the winger has filled a depth role, earning four points, 18 shots on net, four hits, four PIM and a plus-3 rating over eight appearances, mainly as a member of the fourth line.

Arvidsson notched an assist in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Kings in Game 5.
EDGE Analysis
Arvidsson generated a rebound for Mattias Janmark to bury for the go-ahead goal at 7:12 of the third period. While Arvidsson was listed on the second line Tuesday, he saw just 8:25 of ice time, his lowest total this postseason. The winger has two points, 11 shots on net, three hits and a plus-1 rating over five playoff contests.

Arvidsson scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Kings in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Arvidsson has six goals over his last 12 contests. That hasn't prevented him from getting shuffled into the bottom six at even strength -- he was listed on the fourth line Wednesday, though he saw a decent 13:04 of ice time. Arvidsson was limited to 27 points in 67 regular-season contests, so he can be more of a middle-six forward by production if he gets enough opportunities.

Arvidsson scored an empty-net goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Arvidsson has tallied five times over his last eight games, and he has eight goals across 23 outings since his last assist. He's also gone minus-11 in that longer span, so the results are decidedly mixed for the veteran winger. He's up to 15 goals, 27 points, 152 shots on net, 30 hits and a minus-3 rating through 65 contests this season.

Arvidsson scored a goal on two shots and went minus-2 in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Arvidsson's tally gave the Oilers a 3-2 lead early in the third period. This was his fourth goal in the last six games, but he's often struggled when Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) is unavailable as he has been for the last three contests. Arvidsson is now at 14 goals, 26 points, 146 shots on net and a minus-3 rating across 63 appearances. He's a risky fantasy option despite playing in a top-six role, as offense is the only thing he can offer in most formats.

Arvidsson scored a power-play goal on five shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Arvidsson scored for the third game in a row, and this was his first power-play tally of the season. However, there's cause for concern -- Arvidsson didn't get on the scoresheet when Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) missed four games in late March, and Draisaitl appeared to aggravate his injury Thursday. While Arvidsson has held a top-six role, the results have been mixed for much of the season. He's at 13 goals, 25 points, 138 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 60 appearances, and he could struggle if he ends up on a line without a superstar.

Arvidsson scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Arvidsson has scored in back-to-back contests and has four goals on 19 shots over his last eight outings. The 31-year-old winger is up to 12 goals, 24 points, 133 shots, 27 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 59 appearances this season. Arvidsson will likely remain in a top-line role, at least on paper, while Connor McDavid (lower body) is still out of the lineup.
