Flames GM on Elias Lindholm talks: “Now, it’s just to work out the dollar figures.”
Tom Gulitti of NHL.com: Calgary Flames GM Craig Conroy said yesterday that they’re still apart when it comes to contract extension talks with Elias Lindholm.
“It’s like every negotiation; you’re always going back and forth. They have an idea of what the value is. We have an idea of where we think it is and we’re just not quite there, yet.”
Lindholm has stated he wants to re-sign and Conroy is optimistic they can find a common grount.
“When you see other signings around the League, you feel like maybe that’s going to help the cause. It’s still early (in the season) and the one thing he’s come out and said is he wants to be a Flame. Now, it’s just to work out the dollar figures.”
