Cam Robinson: As of late last week the Vancouver Canucks haven’t really been impressed with the trade offers they been receiving for forward J.T. Miller, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if there is more Elias Pettersson trade speculation. They would recoup more value if they traded Pettersson over Miller.
- Cam Robinson: Sources said Saturday (after the above was posted on Friday), was told that Pettersson could be moved anytime. There were indications that the Canucks and Hurricanes had a deal in place but they pivoted to Mikko Rantanen instead.
