Having a season below expectations, it appears that Elias Lindholm's time in Calgary is nearing its end.
Several months ago, he reportedly turned down a massive contract extension. This proposed contract would have earned him approximately 9 million per season over 8 years.
Given his declining performance since Gaudreau and Tkachuk's departure, the center player is unlikely to receive a similar offer from the Flames.
As he becomes a free agent next summer, there's a possibility he might be traded before this year's deadline.
Furthermore, with several injured players, the Bruins will undoubtedly need reinforcements to have a chance at winning the Stanley Cup.
The renowned NHL insider Pierre Lebrun asserts that the Bruins come to mind as one of the favorites to acquire Elias Lindholm.
