The Canucks are approaching a crossroads with pending UFA star Brock Boeser. What would be the pros and cons of Vancouver making him a trade asset?
Happy 2025, friends! We’re finally past the 41-game mark in the NHL and entering the silly season when it comes to trades, rumours, and everything else going on.
While a Brock Boeser trade doesn't seem likely even with the forward set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer, this Eastern Conference team could be a fit.
If these are the final weeks in Vancouver for the longest-tenured Canuck, Brock Boeser doesn’t want his lasting regret to be that it ended when he was playing badly and the team was struggling. Iain MacIntyre speaks to the impending free agent as he grapples with an uncertain future.
The intrigue about Canucks centers J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson continues, while the Sabres' Dylan Cozens and Islanders' Brock Nelson remain in the rumor mill.
Elias Pettersson skated with Brock Boeser and Jake DeBrusk, and was more frequently self-matched with Quinn Hughes against the top end of the Toronto lineup. Frankly, Pettersson’s deployment patterns on Saturday more closely matched how the Canucks have utilized J.T. Miller for much of this season.
Pettersson notched an assist and five blocked shots in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Maple Leafs.
Amid the ongoing trade talks and speculation surrounding the Vancouver Canucks, fans are reminded of a revealing interview from 2023.
Elias Pettersson’s much-anticipated return to the Vancouver Canucks lineup ended in disappointment as the team fell 2-0 to the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday night. Pettersson made his comeback after being sidelined since suffering an undisclosed injury on Dec. 23. He left that game against the San Jose Sharks after scoring two goals.
Canucks star Elias Pettersson discussed his return to injury following his team's loss to the Hurricanes on Friday.
If these are the final weeks in Vancouver for the longest-tenured Canuck, Brock Boeser doesn’t want his lasting regret to be that it ended when he was playing badly and the team was struggling. Iain MacIntyre speaks to the impending free agent as he grapples with an uncertain future.
In and out of Vancouver, the consensus seems to be this can’t continue: great wins, terrible losses and The Miller vs. Pettersson rumours. It’s halfway though the season and no one is quite sure who these Vancouver Canucks are or who will be on the team after the trade deadline.
