You have to look at it from Lindholm's point of view, he wants to stay providing the team is looking to try and compete and the only thing that has happened is his top winger was dealt. I do think the Flames and Leafs are working on something pretty big but both teams are walking at the edge of the cap so it's tough, if you have to bring in a 3rd team to eat some salary it becomes even more complex. These things take time, people just have to be patient. Plenty of time.

So basically what you’re saying is it all comes down to the return we get for hanifin. That’s the one piece we have that can bring in elite talent to play with Elias. Makes sense then as to why we didn’t trade hanifin for a futures package as lindy would want out if that’s the case.
So we wait with bated breath to see what conny can get for hanifin. That’s the domino that needs to fall before we get an answer from Elias.
