Report: Hurricanes, Lindholm far apart on contract, trade possible
by Craig Hagerman from on (#3SV76)
The Carolina Hurricanes and Elias Lindholm are not seeing eye to eye.
Lindholm's camp and the club met on Friday to discuss a new contract. The meeting didn't go well and both sides remain far apart, according to The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun.
LeBrun adds that now a trade "is very much possible." That comes after LeBrun also reported Lindholm is garnering interest on the trade market.
The 23-year-old has completed his entry-level contract and will become a restricted free agent on July 1. He recorded a second consecutive 40-plus-point season in 2017-18 and tied for fifth on the Hurricanes with 16 goals.
