Ahead of the Canucks game vs the Predators, forward J.T. Miller responded to Canucks' Jim Rutherford's comments on his rift with Elias Pettersson.
The Canucks have concluded that there's no workable way forward with both Miller and Pettersson on the roster.
The Sabres have the assets to entice Vancouver into a trade. The bigger question is what, exactly, Buffalo might have to give up.
Pettersson notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Predators.
Add another NHL team who, according to Frank Seravalli of dailyfaceoff.com, has called about forward Elias Pettersson of the Vancouver Canucks. The Utah club has been in and out of wild-card playoff contention for most of the season.
A report that the Canucks were in trade talks with the Hurricanes before the Rantanen trade is part of the recent speculation regarding Miller and Pettersson.
Elias Pettersson's slow start to the 2024-25 season continues to be a massive storyline for the Vancouver Canucks. Through 42 games, the 26-year-old center has 30 points and is on pace to record under 60 points for just the second time in his career.
As the trade deadline draws closer, Patrik Allvin and the Canucks' management group will almost certainly receive more interest in Elias Pettersson
The Vancouver Canucks have played their way back into the light of the playoff race, and it was probably the best game of the season for goalie Thatcher Demko.
Hands up. Who had Thatcher Demko getting the goaltending call Wednesday in Music City? After all, with a pair of solid-showing victories by Kevin Lankinen, the Vancouver Canucks were expected to give the unflappable Finn the start against the Nashville Predators and a run of all three games on this road trip.
What seemed to be a promising season for the Vancouver Canucks has been upended amid concerns that two of the team's star players can't get along.
