Canucks Open to Elias Pettersson Trade Talks, TSN Reports

A full no-move clause plus an $11.6 million cap hit complicate any trade.

Overview

  • TSN’s Darren Dreger reports Vancouver is listening on most players, including Pettersson, as management publicly uses the term rebuild.
  • Dreger says the club has had no contact with agent Pat Brisson, which is required before any move because Pettersson holds a full no-move clause.
  • Pettersson is in the second season of an eight-year, $92.8 million contract with an $11.6 million average annual value.
  • Teams have inquired about his availability in recent weeks, including calls noted by The Province on Dec. 28.
  • The 27-year-old has 27 points in 37 games with solid defensive metrics and a recent uptick of four goals in his past eight games.
