29-year-old old center hits free agency after successful playoff showing with Vancouver
With Elias Lindholm seemingly poised to hit free agency we wanted to see where the center could end up in NHL 24.
With reports that the Boston Bruins, among others, have interest it seems there will be multiple suitors for the former 40 goal scorer. Lindholm's 10 points in 13 playoff games will likely help attract more offers.
In this simulation Lindholm had 22 goals and 53 points compared to the 15 goals and 44 points he had in real life,

Lindholm's initial ask was $5.175 million annually for five years, with that number going up to $5.775 annually on an eight-year max deal.
Surprisingly, the 29-year-old only had one suitor in free agency, the New York Rangers, with Lindholm's initial ask $5.3 million for three years.
Ultimately Lindholm signed for $5.350 million for three years with New York. The number is only marginally higher than the $4.850 million AAV Lindholm made on his current contract.
Adding Lindholm in real life would give the Rangers significant center depth and flexibility, we could see this happening if they can find the cap space.
