@FriedgeHNIC questioned @DhaliwalSports mustache before offering updates on Elias Lindholm and the future of the #Canucks UFA's and RFA's.
Before joining the Canucks, Lindholm reportedly rejected an eight-year offer worth $72M. His decrease of the last two seasons have not contributed to his market value, after scoring 42 goals and 82 points in 2021-2022, he settled for 64 in 80 during the 2022-2023 season and 44 through 75 games in 2023-2024. How he showed during the playoffs showed how important he could be for a playoff-contending team, but how much will this be worth?
Lindholm will turn 30 in December of 2024, would it be wise to ink him to an eight year contract? With his decreasing production, is he worth 9, 8 or even $7M yearly? Lots of work and analysis to do for the Canucks' management. The versatility he brought to the Canucks' lineup sure gave Tocchet lots of flexibility to manage his lineup; if they don't find a way to get him back, they'll have to replace him, that's certain.
