Thomas Drance, Rick Dhaliwal, Arthur Staple and Petre Baugh of The Athletic: Vancouver Canucks pending UFA winger Brock Boeser will be 28-years-old next month and is on pace for 30 goals. He should be a long-term contract candidate for the Canucks but talks have been quiet on that front.

In a new NHL Trade Talk weekend rumors report, we’re looking at the Vancouver Canucks and a few players who have been linked to trades this week. We’re also looking more closely at what the Edmonton Oilers intend to do after adding John Klingberg in free agency.

According to Aaron Portzline of The Athletic, the Blue Jackets might be among the teams reaching out to the Canucks to hear the ask for Elias Pettersson. Rumors this past week were that the Canucks aren’t closed off to trading Pettersson inside the Western Conference, but a trade to the East would be preferable.
