Overview
- TSN’s Darren Dreger reports Vancouver is listening on Elias Pettersson, with no contact yet with agent Pat Brisson and any move requiring the center’s approval under his full no‑move clause.
- Team president Jim Rutherford says the Canucks will take calls on any player as part of a patient rebuild focused on youth and draft picks, while cautioning that listening does not guarantee a trade.
- Pettersson’s eight‑year, $92.8 million contract and reduced scoring complicate market value despite club interest previously linked by reporters to teams such as the Hurricanes, Blackhawks and Sharks.
- Multiple outlets report Calgary has intensified discussions on Rasmus Andersson, a pending UFA having a strong season, with suitors including Boston, Detroit, Dallas, Vegas and Toronto and a six‑team no‑trade list in play.
- Insiders say proposals for Andersson feature first‑round picks and pro‑ready prospects with salary retention or an extension considered, and the Flames are also fielding interest in Nazem Kadri and Blake Coleman.
