Elliotte Friedman confirms Elias Lindholm's fate with the Vancouver Canucks

During the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Vancouver Canucks were a heavily depleted team. They were without their all-star goaltender Thatcher Demko and star centerman Elias Pettersson was reportedly struggling with a knee injury during the playoffs.

One player that stepped up for them massively was Elias Lindholm who had five goals and 10 points in the Canucks run to the second round where they ultimately fell short to the Edmonton Oilers who are currently competing for the Stanley Cup.

Today insider Elliotte Friedman shared that it looks like the Canucks will not be able to retain Lindholm's services and he is likely to hit unrestricted free agency.

The Canucks still have a wealth of star power at center even if/when they lose Lindholm as both JT Miller and the aforementioned Pettersson are capable of playing down the middle.

Free agency is set to begin in just about three weeks so we will need to be on the lookout for Lindholm and see where he winds up landing, assuming it is not Vancouver.
