The Vancouver Canucks, led by General Manager Patrik Allvin who was recently confirmed for a 3-year contract extension by Jim Rutherford, have acquired forward Elias Lindholm from the Calgary Flames. The trade sends forward Andrei Kuzmenko, defensemen Hunter Brzustewicz and Joni Jurmo, a first-round pick, and a conditional fourth-round pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft to the Flames, with the condition that the fourth-round pick becomes a third-rounder if the Canucks reach the Western Conference Final. No salary is being retained on Lindholm in the deal. Lindholm, who has not worked out an extension with the Canucks and is therefore a rental at this stage, is expected to fill several needs for the team, including being a right-handed draw winner and a sturdy penalty killer. The move signals the Canucks' commitment to a playoff push and the desire to build a sustainable, successful team.
Elias Lindholm was willing to re-sign in Calgary. ❤️ https://t.co/APrV6PkJ2m

Column coming shortly, but there's no one that came close to fitting more of Vancouver's various needs - a right handed draw winner, a PP1 fit that doesn't need the puck, a 2nd line C that can also play wing, a sturdy penalty killer - than Elias Lindholm. #Canucks
#Canucks get a guy that makes them better. And that’s big for now and their playoff push. Hope Kuzmenko regains his scoring touch. Curious to see what becomes if Brzustewicz. Was always going to cost a 1st rounder.
Elias Lindholm was the Flames representative for the NHL All-Star Game. He'll now become the sixth player from the Canucks in Toronto, joining Elias Pettersson, Brock Boeser, Quinn Hughes, J.T. Miller and Thatcher Demko.

Canucks get stronger. Elias Lindholm goes to the West Coast.
Elias Lindholm has officially been traded to the #canucks
Trade call is happening or about to go down. Lindholm is going to the Canucks. Multi assets involved in the trade including Kuzmenko back to the Flames.
Lots of moving parts, and still more to complete, but can report Elias Lindholm will be a member of #Canucks. Lindholm is in the air on the way to Toronto for #NHLAllStar, which has slowed process.
There’s no extension in the works for Elias Lindholm as part of this Vancouver trade being worked on. He would be going as a rental at least at the outset.
The Canucks and Flames working are working on a trade as reported. Kuzmenko may be involved, if not it will be picks and prospects. Lindholm to the Canucks. Not complete.

“It depends on market price,” says Allvin of “what it would take” to trade the club’s 2024 first-round pick. “There’s excitement about our prospects from other teams based on my conversations with them. So we have assets here.” #Canucks
“You don’t want to be a one year hit,” says Patrik Allvin. “You have to sustain it.” #Canucks
Allvin on the stretch run: It’s definitely going to get harder. That’s the work the coaching staff are doing every day. Preparing the players for what’s coming. #Canucks @Sportsnet650
“I didn’t anticipate that,” says Allvin on the club’s success this season. “But I did anticipate that our younger players could take a big step with (better) structure around them.” #Canucks
“I don’t want to get into specific needs, but in general we’re looking at different areas and what’s available. We all know you need to have depth down the stretch to be successful… so we’ll see and act accordingly based on what’s available,” - Allvin on deadline needs. #Canucks
Allvin on potential deadline targets: I don’t want to get into specific needs. We’re looking at different areas and what’s available. We all know you need depth to have success down the stretch. #Canucks @Sportsnet650
Allvin: Petey is an extremely talented player, and I think he has even more upside with our coaches. #Canucks @Sportsnet650
Allvin: I’ve got an aggressive boss that’s on me every day, and that’s what I like about Jim. He’s always ahead of things. #Canucks @Sportsnet650
“The players have put themselves in a really good position. Do we go all in? It’s something we discuss (with our staff), because any short-term decisions will impact the long-term,” says Allvin. Solid parry to the question of “Will you go all in” at the trade deadline. #Canucks
Allvin: Do we go all in or not? It’s something we always discuss. Short term decisions will always impact long term planning. #Canucks @Sportsnet650
“I’m thankful and honoured to be with the Vancouver #Canucks moving forward,” says Patrik Allvin. “We’ve got a lot of work ahead of us here, we’re all aware of that.”
Allvin extension availability begins with Jim Rutherford, who confirms that it’s a 3-year extension. “Patrik is a knowledgeable hockey man who works very hard, all around the world…” says Rutherford. “He’s aligned the hockey department and he’s a very determined guy.” #Canucks
