Elias Lindholm signed a six-year, $29.1 million contract with the Calgary Flames on Monday. The contract has an average annual value of $4.85 million.
The 23-year-old forward, who was a restricted free agent, and the Flames had an arbitration hearing scheduled for Aug. 1.
"Lindholm can play center or wing, which gives me nice options," Flames coach Bill Peters told the Calgary Sun last month. "He's probably top 20 overall in face-offs. We'll have the puck more and that will help overall puck possession and face-off stats."
Lindholm and defenseman Noah Hanifin were acquired in a trade with the Carolina Hurricanes for defenseman Dougie Hamilton, forward Micheal Ferland and defenseman prospect Adam Fox on June 23.
Lindholm had 44 points (16 goals, 28 assists) in 81 games for Carolina last season, and won 54.5 percent of his face-offs.. He was the No. 5 pick in the 2013 NHL Draft and had 188 points (64 goals, 124 assists) in 374 games with the Hurricanes.
Lindholm played for Peters in Carolina. Peters was named Calgary coach April 23.
