The Calgary Flames have been in a whirlwind over the past 18 months following the loss of their two biggest stars, and now, they face the departure of yet another top name.
Elias Lindholm has been a crucial part of the Flames lineup for a number of years now, and after seeing Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Tkachuk leave last year, he could be following them out.
Reports all summer have had the Flames offering him a big, long-term deal, but the Swede has stayed silent on the topic for most of the off-season, but now, No. 28 has spoken on the matter and his future in Calgary.
This may not fill Flames fans with too much confidence, but with a big money offer on the table that few teams would be willing to extend him, this is a good sign for them going forward, and there's a chance a resolution could come either before the season or at the trade deadline.
