Farhan Lalji joins SC with Jay Onrait to share his initial thoughts on the Canucks acquiring Elias Lindholm from the Flames, discusses if he thinks this could be the first of many moves for Vancouver leading up to the trade deadline, and what the Lindholm trade could mean for a potential contract extension for Elias Pettersson.

Tsn why do I always have to turn my volume to 300 to hear your video's? Is Grant Fuhr running your uploads department?
According to TORONTO SPORTS MEDIA logic anything canucks does is a "Bad deal" and we have to talk about Maple laffs when vancouver trades with any team…
And with the 32nd pick the Calgary Flames select…….
Nucks win
Nucks win!!!
Farhan laljhi who knows less then nothing about hockey.
Center depth is looking great. Going all in this year
The Canucks still need another top 6 forward because they just traded one away 😂
That’s a lot to give up for him.. I wanted him at the Oilers but that would’ve been too large of a haul in my opinion.. Hopefully it works out for Vancouver 🤷♂️
Next time no shirts
Good trade for both teams, hope they can sign Lindholm.
Yo put petey in the middle and this will be a crazy scary line
What about the Leafs ?
If I were the Flames GM, there is no way I walk from this deal. I would further suggest Kuzmenko should be available for the right price until trade D.L.
I'm a leafs fan but I think the canucks might be raising the cup this year …very strong team
Maybe the Lindholm trade gives the Canucks and option in signing if Petterson jumps ship.
If the Canucks get another top 6 d, they're looking pretty scary.
Depends on if they extend him or not if they don’t huge loss if they do big win.
Think it's a good deal for both teams. I do think the flames got more than I expected, and as a flames fan I'm excited
This has to be the end of the Canucks deals. They have almost nothing else to offer a team except roster plays and a 3 elite prospects. Kuzmenko and one other piece for a declining Lindholm on an expiring contract would have been fair. But a 1st, a conditional 4th AND 2 good prospects? Who are we? The Colorado…Rockies? The Canucks have to be Cup or bust at this point because there's no way in hell they can resign all of these players. Even if they let Myers go, which should be expected, resigning Lindholm, Zadorov, who they gave up good pieces for, Pettersson AND Hronek is going to be a tall order. I could see Lindholm, who is clearly on the decline, getting a Miller type of deal. That's not affordable. Top teams don't do this. Top teams bide their time and strike. Obviously, they're trying to convince Pettersson to stay, but is it really worth it if it costs them a Stanley Cup? And if we're not trying to win a Cup legitimately at some point, what's the point? If they win it this year, I'll eat my words, but I've been a fan since 1990. This was a Benning move. Or worse, a Jack Gordon move, if anyone gets that reference.
Trade petey if he wants more then 12 per. We can get an impact player back in return who isnt going to hemorrhage the team and get pieces back for the future to keep contending.
This will allow us to sign lindholm as well.
I personally dont believe in giving one player 20% of the whole cap.
We opened salary to keep Petey, Petey isn't reluctant, he simply doesn't want to think about it during the season most likely because what happens after extensions. Petey wants to be here.
