The trade marketplace for two Vancouver Canucks wingers and a middle isn’t there in the meanwhile
Thomas Drance of The Athletic: (mailbag) There are still some decent wingers in free agency, so it’s slowed the trade marketplace for Vancouver Canucks wingers Jake DeBrusk and Brock Boeser. The likes of Anthony Mantha, Michael Bunting, Eeli Tolvanen, Vladimir Tarasenko and Patrick Kane might be had without giving up an asset. DeBrusk and Boeser even have no-movement clauses.
As for trading Elias Pettersson, possibly the Canucks search for an identical deal to the one the Edmonton Oilers made with the San Jose Sharks for Darnell Nurse. Move out the whole contract and take a younger player who may only be a depth player, but has some upside. If the Canucks took back a nasty contract to get a greater return, it may be the higher route.
In the event that they get the fitting offer, the Canucks may prefer to present Pettersson a fresh start somewhere versus returning and attempting to increase his value. If Pettersson does return, Linus Karlsson‘s play could also be certainly one of the higher suits for his wing. Adding a left winger with speed who can carry possession into the zone can be good, but may not currently be on the market.
Is Elias Pettersson Going to get Traded?
The Canucks could also be higher off trading DeBrusk for a second and signing Michael Bunting to exchange him for 2 years may put them in a greater overall position.
The Vancouver Canucks have talked trade with the Seattle Kraken and Anaheim Geese
Oilers Now with Bob Stauffer: Rick Dhaliwal on the Vancouver Canucks must be targeting young players under 25 who don’t have no-trade protection. They’d some interest in Seattle Kraken’s Shane Wright but didn’t like the worth. They talked to the Anaheim Geese about adding a contract with a sweetener. It’s money in, money out for the Canucks as we’ve seen already.

Dhaliwal: “Anything in Vancouver is money out, money in. The owners going right into a rebuild, so he’s saying tight, tight. Money is tight because they’re going right into a rebuild.
They got to take a look at guys like Shane Wright. The Canucks do like Shane Wright. They’ve approached Seattle about him, however the ask was very high. You understand, Seattle wants either certainly one of their two young defensemen, Zeev Buium or Tom Willander.
Get those guys under 25, Bob, that don’t have any moves. They don’t don’t have any moves, in order that they can’t block a trade for Vancouver. Go get Kent Johnson, Shane Wright, Matthew Knies. They’re all under 25, and so they don’t have any trade protection. Those are the fellows that they got to go get.
Bobby, let me get this in. The Geese try to maneuver some players in order that they can sign Cutter Gauthier. Anaheim’s going to should attach some sweeteners to do away with guys like Frank Vatrano. Someone told me today the Geese did call Vancouver to see in the event that they’d take Vatrano off their hands because they got to unencumber money. Tons of cash for Gauthier. They’re screwed. That, the offer sheet screwed them.

So, anyhow, those are the variety of guys which can be being offered to Vancouver at once. Frank Vatrano out of Anaheim. But again, Vancouver’s money out, money in. Budget’s tight. They usually got GM, though. It’s a plan out here. They’re going to be patient. It’s going to take, you bought to draft and develop, Bob, in a rebuild.”
