In his podcast, Elliotte Friedman talked about the Vancouver Canucks and mentioned that he believes the team is pushing to keep Elias Lindholm ahead of free agency.

The Canucks went all in during the season by trading a package deal involving Andrei Kuzmenko to the Calgary Flames for Elias Lindholm. The veteran came to Vancouver during the last season of his $4,850,000 AAV contract, and it appears that his new team could be making a push to keep him long-term.

According to Elliotte Friedman, the Canucks would be willing to offer him a 7-year, $7 million deal:

'A couple of weeks ago on the pod, during the playoffs, we talked about the recruiting efforts from the Canucks players; they were pretty intense. "You gotta stay, you gotta stay, you gotta find a way to stay." I still think that's going on. This is my guess: I think the Canucks are willing to go in the 7×7 range; I'm just not sure it's going to get it done. I think the Canucks want this player.' - Elliotte Friedman

After a rough start with the Canucks in the regular season, the veteran had a great playoffs. In 13 games against the Edmonton Oilers and the Nashville Predators, he scored 10 points.
The Canucks just had their breakout season and after a disappointing playoff exit in the second round, they'll want to bounce back next season. Lindholm could have the opportunity to be a part of that, and it would be surprising to see him leave one of the most talented rosters in the NHL at this point in his career.
