Today Pierre LeBrun was able to uncover a lot of information about the Elias Lindholm and Calgary Flames situation.
LeBrun has confirmed that it does not look like Elias Lindholm will be returning to Calgary after this season. There have reportedly not been a lot of talks between the two sides.
While neither side has officially decided to part ways it does seem to be heading in that direction. If Lindholm is indeed traded LeBrun was able to dig up who the favorites might be to land him.
Pierre LeBrun then moved on to the trade rumors surrounding Lindholm. He believes if Lindholm is traded it will likely happen closer to the March 8th deadline.
As the post from X mentions Pierre LeBrun says that the favorites to acquire Lindholm at the moment are the Boston Bruins and Colorado Avalanche.
The Boston Bruins have needed forward depth all season after several key players decided to retire. The Colorado Avalanche always tend to explore the forward market during the trade deadline. With Gabriel Landeskog expected to miss all season the need for a star forward is amplified.
While a trade involving Elias Lindholm is not on the near horizon it is likely before the end of the season. The team that lands him will likely be the one willing to take on the most salary.
