With the trade deadline looming, and all the rampant speculation that emerges in the days leading up to it, may we present another little interesting tidbit. Perhaps it’s nothing more than a coach and a player he coached last season catching up on life and family, but according to Vancouver Canucks insider and sports radio host Rick Dhaliwal, Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet and Canucks center Elias Pettersson had a rather lengthy discussion during the Olympics.

The Vancouver Canucks are trying to execute their next trade. But they'll need some cooperation from a player first. They pulled longtime defenseman Tyler Myers from the lineup for their game Wednesday night, for trade-related purposes. We've now learned that the Detroit Red Wings had a trade offer on the table with Vancouver for Myers, but the 6'8" d-man has a full no-move clause in his contract, and he hasn't yet agreed to any deal. Tyler Myers continues to consider a trade optio...

With the March 6 trade deadline closing in, the Vancouver Canucks are reportedly taking calls on a name that would have sounded untouchable not long ago. David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period says the Canucks are willing to listen on Jake DeBrusk, and a very interesting twist is that the Boston Bruins are among the teams believed to have interest in a reunion.

It's anyone's guess exactly what the Vancouver Canucks are doing with their franchise. They have plenty of core pieces locked in, but traded Quinn Hughes and Kiefer Sherwood for some solid assets. This is a team that could clear out some space ahead of the deadline and retool in the offseason, or just tear it all down. Elias Pettersson seems to be the deciding factor on that decision. It's not the easiest to move him as his cap hit is $11.6 million AAV. And David Pagnotta said, "Vancouver's no...

While all the buzz leading up to the trade deadline around the Vancouver Canucks centers around Elias Pettersson, swapping out the beleaguered center and his long-term $11.6M AAV would be a complicated deal to pull off. But according to insider Chris Johnson on TSN's Insider Trading , the Canucks' next deal will not be so difficult to arrange: A much more straightforward transaction that we could see the Canucks complete relatively soon here involves Evander Kane, a pending unrestri...

The Vancouver Canucks appear to be shifting their position on Conor Garland as the NHL trade deadline approaches, indicating an interesting change in direction as the organization leans further into a rebuild. For weeks, the message around the league was that Vancouver valued Garland’s leadership and energy and had little interest in moving him. Now, CHEK TV’s Rick Dhaliwal reports the tone has changed, and the Canucks are no longer opposed to dealing the veteran winger if the righ...

The NHL's season resumes on Wednesday, and there's a very good chance before the puck drops on the post-Olympic stretch run, that several trades are going to be finalized.

The Vancouver Canucks are in dead last in the NHL and aren't making the playoffs this season. Many believe that they won't be able to bounce back and come close again next season, and given their roster, that's easy to get on board with. Vancouver has to look at dealing what they can and go into a rebuild, but that's tough when they are reportedly not that keen on moving players outside of those on expiring contracts.

The Minnesota Wild have already pulled off the trade of the season, acquiring Quinn Hughes from the Vancouver Canucks, and word is, general manager Bill Guerin is far from finished.

In order to add another significant piece up front, Guerin's going to ...
