Bumper guy on the PP
PK'er
56% on faceoffs
Good defensively, can't really carry his own line offensively but can drive play and works well when he's got an offensive creator with him.

So where do Canucks fans see him playing the rest of this season? On what line and with which wingers?

He's RHC who can play with.

The logical choice would be with EP.

Pettersson-Lindholm-Mikheyev
Suter-Miller-Boeser
Joshua-Blueger-Garland
Hoglander-Amam-Lafferty

If we need more offense we can reunite the lotto line which is huge for thr playoffs. You can't be a 1 line team. Our forward crop actually looks really impressive. Plus the fact he's a strong defensive player, who can win draws, and pk is massive.

I think he goes with Mikheyev (and likely Hogs) as our shutdown matchup line. Then the Lotta like and CBD ‘3rd’ line stays intact

Loving the Swedes as always.

Honestly I could see him with Miller. Which means Boeser with Petey. Lots of options and time to find a fit. He'd also work well with Garland IMO, not that this is something we will see. I see this as a Cassels + acquisition in a contending year with a bit of YOLO surrounding the future beyond this season.

I think centering the second line, or maybe have Pettersson on his wing.

Expect his numbers to jump up if deployed with EP

He will be a workhorse for Tocchet

welcome to vancouver

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Calgary has the 3rd best PK%. He could be a huge boost for the team there as well.

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

I'm a big fan of these things.

Now go win the cup you cowards

[canuckking1]

I think Elias is gonna have a lot of fun playing on Elias' wing

The question is now what number will he wear.

He wore 16, then 28, which we can assume is 2x8 = 16.

Ian Cole already took 82.

Will it be 44? 61?

I hope he picks a low number. Getting sick with these high numbered jerseys.

High number sucks right? Like that dude who dared to wear the highest 2 digit number.

 

[Flik]

I dig it.

 

[GranvilleIsland]

Guy is shooting 6.9% with a career average of 14.3%.

Should get a nice PDO boost from the PDO machine!

Honestly? Lindholm has been meh this year compared to seasons past.
Just eye test wise he's been fairly unnoticeable most nights offensively. Part of it is his shooting percentage is at an all time low, a measly 4%. He's also pacing for 53 points and 14 goals, which would be his lowest point total in 5 years and his lowest goal total in 6 years

That being said...I think Vancouver is a great fit. He's no longer asked to be the the go to guy but rather an excellent complimentary piece to elite players, or on the 2nd line, either one being ideal for the caliber of player he is.

Heck, even last season when he was the number 1 he lead the flames in points (more a testament to flames offense but still) while being arguably their best two way forward.

If he can be the Lindholm of past seasons (which i think he can with you guys) then you have a 60-70 point player with excellent two way play

 

[82Ninety42011]

He's the 2C when it's Lotto night and RW with EP when it's 2 line time. Great to have options with our top 6 now. As others mentioned he's another PK star and can play PP1 to. Gotta love the new bullet we just loaded he's very versatile.
