#2 Evgeny Kuznetsov for Elias Lindholm

I don’t see this trade happening either but like I said this is all for fun. But out of the three this is probably the most realistic one to happen over Kuzy for Eichel and the next one we’ll mention.

Elias Lindholm of the Calgary Flames is two years but he made his NHL debut the same season, in 2013-14. He started with the Carolina Hurricanes. He just missed their arrival back to the playoff mix.

With the Flames this season he has 21 goals and 42 assists for 63 points. This could be a bargain move for the Caps. As we mentioned, Kuznetsov has that 7.8 million cap hit. Lindholm has a $4.85 million cap hit. If the Caps were to execute this trade it would be a bargain for them.

The Flames are just two points behind the Winnipeg Jets for the second and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Kuzy could be a missing piece for a team on the up and up. They’re just a year or two away in my opinion.
