According to TSN’s Pierre LeBrun, the Carolina Hurricanes restricted free agent forward Elias Lindholm aren’t currently seeing eye-to-eye on a contract extension.
“Let’s be honest, if they don’t get him signed, I believe the marching orders from owner Tom Dundon are to trade Elias Lindholm,” LeBrun said. “We talked about interest from the Calgary Flames last night. That interest remains. But there are a lot of teams keeping an eye on him. Jeff Skinner is the most likely traded, but Elias Lindholm because he’s 23 and a centre who can play right wing is the one that’s generating the most interest.
