A few tidbits. The Leafs and Nylander are in no hurry to get a deal done and he is not being shopped at all. The Leafs believe he doesn't want to play anywhere but Toronto and feel they are in the position of strength for that reason. Don't expect a contract for Lindholm until the end of training camp at earliest. Both sides are good with contract and term, Lindholm wants to see what the new staff and system are like and how the team is looking. If I were to guess the Lindholm situation will get resolved around the Christmas break. Everything is quiet on Hanifin, things could pick up closer to camp but the Flames are willing to wait given the offers they have gotten, inevitably injuries will happen to a teams blue line and offers will get better. That's all I got right now
