Been on this train since before the trade rumor broke. Probably about a month before then.

Having followed Elias since the draft year and even before then, I knew he was someone the Flames should be targeting this offseason. then to nab him along with 21 year old Noah Hanifin was this fans dream come true. And at the expense of two players I was never truly fond of on top of that.

Look, the season is long and I am sure there's going to be some ups and down but the intangibles Lindholm brings consistently will make whatever line he plays on better. If they use his other proficiencies like they have been early on, there's no way of telling how high this ends. Sky is the limit for this player on this team. He is a weapon. A dog on the puck and he's finally rounding into man form to body people off the puck. which was a thing for him in Carolina. just needed a bit more beef and experience.

We stole this guy. I swear it.
