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...

There’s this hockey adage that tends to come up around the trade deadline, when trade targets are being analyzed in terms of how they’ll help a team contending for the Cup. It’s comes with phrases like “fourth-liner on a good team” or “additional blue-line depth,” with the general idea that a player who moves up in the NHL standings in a trade typically moves down the lineup, because good teams have better players occupying the prime spots. Breaking news, right?
This thought doesn’t speci...
The Colorado Avalanche moved Samuel Girard and a second-round pick to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for veteran defenceman Brett Kulak, and while it may have been a significant deal, it's the aftermath that everyone is talking about. The Avs moved on Girard, who is signed long term and they also freed up some cap space, and now currently sit with over $8 million in available resources heading into the trade deadline. There's growing speculation they aren't anywhere near finished, and one...

Wallstedt, 23, is signed through next season at just $2.2 million, and is a pending restricted free agent at the end of his current contract. He does not hold any tra...

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...
