As always, leave room for a “surprise” club to land him, but St Louis and Boston remain prime contenders.— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) March 19, 2022 The Ducks have been scratching Lindholm in preparation for a move, as they don't want the 28-year-old to sustain an injury to restrict a trade from happening.
