The NHL trade deadline is approaching, and there are discussions about potential trades involving Elias Lindholm between the Vancouver Canucks and the Calgary Flames. It's reported that talks between the two teams are intensifying, with Lindholm being a key player in the discussions. There is speculation about the cost and potential extension involved in acquiring Lindholm. The Vancouver Canucks are seen as going all-in to win, with opinions on the trade being divided. Jim Rutherford, the president of the Canucks, expressed a preference for a long-term deal with Lindholm and mentioned the possibility of Lindholm playing with Pettersson.
Rutherford on Lindholm : I talked with Rick Tochett last night, I suspect Lindholm will play with Pettersson.
Jim Rutherford on re-signing Elias Lindholm : We looked at the trade and he could be a rental or long term, our preference is long term. Complete Jim Rutheford interview @DonnieandDhali and You Tube

Love the deal for the @Canucks. Going for it. @flames get a bunch of pieces for a rental. Maybe the best they could do? Would market have grown leading up to 3/8 deadline? Maybe? Maybe not? Wonder if someone will step for Markstrom? NJ? LA? TO? https://t.co/k9p2dX31Es
Elias Lindholm is very likely to be the top UFA entering July 1. Big showcase with Vancouver incoming.
Not going to say #Flames fleeced the #Canucks, because VAN is going all in to win right now but the #Flames fleeced the #Canucks. https://t.co/EOG5QkvyJt

I can't claim to be an expert on the prospects, but this seems like a substantial haul for #Flames, especially since they didn't want to meet Lindholm's asking price on an extension. https://t.co/oRXNIvgH4p
Guess the Rangers aren’t getting Elias Lindholm. Good job by the Canucks to pounce on this early. Hefty price but got their guy. And they got him early. Amazing how far they’ve come. They traded Bo Horvat just over a year ago. Now they’re buying big.
That's a haul. I like Vancouver going all-in, but it certainly didn't come cheap. Basically what you have to do if you want to execute a trade for one of the best rentals available a month early. https://t.co/2Owo5OCsX0
The #NYR definitely had interest in Lindholm, who may end up being the top center dealt in the lead-up to the deadline, but that cost is 🚀 https://t.co/cm6dg1F4ax
Who would've thought the #Canucks and #Flames would make two trades this season?

I like the Lindholm fit, assuming it happens. Can fit in a variety of places in the lineup. Could be more affordable than first thought to extend because he’s having a down year offensively. Nice PP fit too. #Canucks @Sportsnet650
Vancouver should invest more in this season & Lindholm would be a great 2C fit. Just have to think it’ll be pricey - especially if there’s going to be an extension. https://t.co/lmgCNJtYca
I mean, if you're Vancouver, why not go all in? You're having a charmed season in terms of shooting luck, and all your best players are having career years there's no guarantee they'll be able to repeat. Burn the future assets to get someone like Lindholm and go for it.
There is word tonight talks between Vancouver and Calgary are intensifying around Elias Lindholm. We will see where it goes.
The NHL trade deadline is a few weeks away, and the Penguins might be the most intriguing team. So… who could be on the move? We put their players into buckets, from trade chips and untouchables to potential deadline sells and the big burning question ⬇️ https://t.co/3OmcZ3NsnK
