Player Discussion Elias Lindholm

He would be an excellent 3rd line centre.

The article says undiscloed injury- how do we know it was a wrist? Not being a dick, just asking. And if this true, why was he not shut down to heal? Was this the same injury that caused him to miss a bunch of camp? Even more why not shut him down to get healthy?

Canucks: 'Brutal' wrist injury kept Elias Lindholm out of the lineup. Now he's almost back

The Canucks centre, who has been out of action with a suspected wrist injury, joined his teammates for practice Friday in Los Angeles.

I'm not a doctor but I don't understand how a guy with a bad wrist can win draws but can't catch a pass?

I mean, draws are hard on the hands and forearms, you're jamming sticks and battling. A pass seams harmless by comparison. I don't know, not a doctor.

Agree with the folks who say, if he's injured he should sit out until it's healed. Playing on the first line, then the second line, and the first power play all season hasn't been helpful, IMO he hurt those units.

At the very least the coaches should have said, ok you can defend and be smart but you can't handle the puck or shoot so we're going to use you in a defensive role and play to your strengths. Instead they did the exact opposite.

Shooting is half wrist. Rotating an injured wrist is harder than taking the pain at faceoffs
