Elias Lindholm’s tenure with the Vancouver Canucks hasn’t exactly gone to plan. After a great stint with the Calgary Flames, his offensive production has dipped notably since the trade. With Elias Pettersson recently re-signed to a long-term deal, Lindholm’s status as a pure rental becomes clearer.
Sportsnet’s NHL insider Luke Fox points out that Lindholm’s stock value is taking a hit. However, a resurgence in the playoffs could change his fortunes and pave the way for a more lucrative contract elsewhere.
Could Elias Lindholm Land with the Bruins This off-season?
It’s worth remembering that Lindholm was heavily linked to the Boston Bruins and New York Rangers prior to his move to Vancouver. Currently serving in a third-line role for the Canucks, it’s likely that teams will be betting on his production bouncing back with increased top-six minutes with his next team.
Could a move to Boston finally become a reality? It’s a scenario that cannot be ruled out as the offseason approaches. The Bruins are always on the hunt for top-six center depth, and Lindholm’s two-way game could be an enticing fit for Boston next season.
