When noting that he has struggled to find his game since being dealt to the Canucks, there is a chance that he won't be back with them beyond this season. Thus, let's go over three teams who are likely to target him if he hits the free-agent market now. Boston Bruins: It is not a secret that the Boston Bruins love Elias Lindholm. They tried to acquire him since this past offseason, and that remained the case even after he was dealt to the Canucks. They need help down the middle big time, and Lindholm would give them that. Columbus Blue Jackets: The Columbus Blue Jackets were connected to Lindholm this season.
