Calgary Flames Rumours: Top Star Linked To Columbus Blue Jackets
Last season, the Calgary Flames saw their top star Johnny Gaudreau depart, to the Columbus Blue Jackets of all places, and now, according to a Blue Jackets reporter, the two sides could be looking to do business this off-season.
The target of that business? Elias Lindholm, who the Flames need to make a big decision on this season, as the 29-year old’s contract expires after the 2023/24 season, meaning that the team will need to either extend him or move him, unless they want another Gaudreau situation.
In @jkamckenzie's Flames mailbag piece today, Blue Jackets reporter Aaron Portzline suggested Calgary might be able to land the No. 3 pick from Columbus in a deal for Elias Lindholm.
