Elias Lindholm on the Move to Vancouver

The Vancouver Canucks and Calgary Flames have agreed on a trade. 

Canucks receive: Center Elias Lindholm 

Flames receiver: Winger Andrei Kuzmenko, Defenseman Hunter Brzustewwicz, Defenseman Joni Jurmo, a 2024 first-rounder, and a 2024 conditional fourth-rounder

The Flames, who are currently 24th in the league, add a lot of future potential to their team. The Canucks currently sit first in the league with 71 points and now add a guy who can give them that extra push in the playoffs. However, Lindholm is a free agent after this season, so expect the Canucks to look into extending him. If they don’t extend him he may potentially be a four-month rental who the Canucks gave up prospects and a pick for. 

The 29-year-old has 9 goals and 23 assists in 49 games played.
