News has surfaced that Elias Lindholm has rejected two offers from both the Flames and the Canucks, leaving many uncertain where he might end up after free agency. With NHL free agency less than a month away teams are trying to lock up players on expire contracts as soon as possible. A major player in those talks is Elias Lindholm who was traded to the Canucks in a trade at the end of January that sent Andrei Kuzmenko and assets back to Calgary. These are the reported contract offers coming from both Flames and Canucks, reported from wincolumnCGY on X, <q>Elias Lindholm reportedly turning down both a: - 8 x $9M contract from the #Flames - 7 x $7M contract from the #Canucks Sure is a bold strategy</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/wincolumnCGY/status/1799120194738000109'> </a></blockquote></div> With these massive contracts being turned down, some are turning towards the fact that Lindholm does not want to be apart of the Canadian hockey community anymore, <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/Gphumanbeing/status/1799290316845195295'> </a></blockquote></div> Some are wondering if the Canucks will throw more money at Lindholm. This situation would leave the Canucks somewhat tight for money in coming years as they have young players like Filip Hronek, Nils Hoglander, and Thatcher Demko who all will likely be expecting massive pay raises coming in their next contracts when their time comes for extensions. In this case only time will really tell for a player like Lindholm who has spent the majority of his young hockey career in Canadian markets.
