The Vancouver Canucks reportedly have an offer on the table for newly acquired pending unrestricted free agent center Elias Lindholm.

Forward Elias Lindholm is nearing unrestricted free agency on July 1st, but the Canucks are making efforts to keep him on their roster.

According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, Canucks' management has reportedly made an offer to Lindholm to retain him. Friedman discussed this on the 32 Thoughts podcast:

«A couple of weeks ago on the pod, during the playoffs, we talked about the recruiting efforts from the Canucks players were pretty intense. �You gotta stay, you gotta stay, you gotta find a way to stay.' I still think that's going on,» Friedman speculated. «This is my guess: I think the Canucks are willing to go in the 7�7 range; I'm just not sure it's going to get it done. I think the Canucks want this player.»

Lindholm's time in Vancouver has been up and down since he was traded from the Calgary Flames. There were talks of him being traded again before the deadline, but he remained with the Canucks.

However, the Canucks also have pending free agent defenseman Nikita Zadorov to consider. Reports suggest Zadorov is seeking a significant contract, which could affect Lindholm's deal.

«I see those three guys as flexible players; you can move them around. You can play [Elias] Pettersson, [JT] Miller, Lindholm all down the middle. But you can move them to the wing; you can move them around,» Friedman said. «Look how good Vancouver looked with those three guys in their lineup. If I have to stretch my dollars a little bit to keep those three guys in my lineup, I'll do it.»

«I don't want to speak for Lindholm, but I heard as tough as it started in Vancouver, I heard he really liked it there,» Friedman added.
