One of the Flames biggest off season acquisitions is going to be sticking around for a long time. Calgary and Elias Lindholm came to terms on a 6 year, $29.1 million dollar contract this afternoon.
With Lindholm in the fold for 6 years, the Flames now have the core of their team locked up long term. The native of Sweden will join Johnny Gaudreau, Sean Monahan, Mikael Backlund, James Neal and Mark Giordano as Flames players who are under contract for the foreseeable future. The Flames will no doubt be looking to add Matthew Tkachuk and Mark Jankowski to that list as well.
