Elias Lindholm has been in the NHL trade rumors mill all summer with him mainly being linked to the Boston Bruins.
With the Bruins having no 2024 first-round pick, no salary cap space, and the unwillingness to trade forward Jake DeBrusk, Lindholm will likely be staying put in Calgary.
Could the Calgary Flames trade Elias Lindholm at the NHL trade deadline?
IF the Calgary Flames do not re-sign Elias Lindholm by the NHL trade deadline, the odds of him being traded increase. But it will not be the Boston Bruins as his destination.
A playoff-contending team in need of a center will come knocking on the Flames door, but it will cost them to complete the trade.
NHL trade rumors have the Flames getting a first-round pick, prospect, and roster player to complete a Lindholm trade if salary is retained in the deal. The ask is comparable to what the New York Islanders paid for Bo Horvat last year.
What are Calgary Flames fans saying about an Elias Lindholm trade?
If Elias Lindholm is not signed by the NHL trade deadline, GM Craig Conroy MUST trade him and get what we can.
The Bruins don’t need Lindholm, Scheifele, they are fine with the center they have. Watch they will surprise a lot of teams this year.
I am crossing my fingers Lindholm re-signs in Calgary.
Jake DeBrusk has nothing to do with it. He isn’t what the Flames would be looking for in a Lindholm trade.
