A blockbuster trade happened late last night between the Vancouver Canucks and the Calgary Flames, however, a major part of it broke down in the final stages. This Insider revealed exactly what happened. <h2>Insider Reveals Why Lindholm Trade Broke Down Between Flames and Canucks</h2> Elias Lindholm has been on the trade block for a few months now, with insiders speculating on his future trade, when it might happen, and who would be interested in his services. Well, last night the Flames pulled the trigger on a trade, sending him to the Vancouver Canucks for a slurry of prospects and picks. <q>Elias Lindholm is officially a member of the Vancouver Canucks. 🔁</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/Sportsnet/status/1752875623930855618'> </a></blockquote></div> However, according to Rick Dhaliwal, Chris Tanev was almost included in the trade, which would have made it an even bigger deal. Here's what happened, according to him. <q>According to @DhaliwalSports Calgary wanted another 1st for Tanev to be involved in this trade and that's where it broke down. #flames #canucks #nhl</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/NHLTradeAlert/status/1752893536549118253'> </a></blockquote></div> <h2>Tanev Trade Would Have Been Massive For Canucks</h2> Chris Tanev has been sought after for pretty much the entire season, and if the Canucks had also gotten him along with Lindholm, it would have set them up nicely for a long run into the postseason this year. <q>Price is a bit rich for what he's done lately but I think Lindholm was the only forward who really made sense for VAN, it's a good fit, and I like them pushing in on this season. I say a solid move both sides.</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/JFreshHockey/status/1752876598942966072'> </a></blockquote></div> Lindholm does bring the Canucks another depth option at Center if he can find his game again in the change of scenery. However, they did have to give up a lot to get him. They gave up 4 assets, including their first-rounder next year, as well as a 40-goal scorer, for Lindholm who has 9 goals this year. Who do you think won the trade?
