Here are two early landing spots for Elias Pettersson should the Canucks decide to trade him before the 2025 NHL Trade Deadline.

Despite Pettersson's recent struggles, his return could mimic past blockbuster deals involving a star center. Winnipeg recently traded Pierre-Luc Dubois to Los Angeles for three NHL pieces and a draft pick. Before that, Buffalo traded Jack Eichel to Vegas for an NHL player, a top prospect, and two draft picks.

The Vancouver Canucks are listening to their options with feuding superstars, but Elias Pettersson may be the first to go.

Over the past week and a half, Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin and director of player personnel Scott Young took in a series of World Junior games in Ottawa, watched Vancouver’s AHL affiliate in Laval and were in attendance together to witness the Canucks’ 5-4 overtime loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Monday.

The idea of seeing Elias Pettersson in the Montreal Canadiens uniform is really amazing, but it seems quite complicated for the Habs. At 26 years old, Pettersson is a solid player with 440 points in 441 career games. Imagine how he would transform the Habs offense. The problem here: the price.

Vancouver Canucks star Elias Pettersson spoke out amid swirling trade rumors and questions about his performance this season for the first time since suffering a pre-holiday-break injury.

The Vancouver Canucks may have star centre Elias Pettersson back in their lineup when they visit the Washington Capitals on Wednesday.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are in the thick of the playoff race in the Eastern Conference. The Penguins had a brutal start to the season, but have turned things around. However, this does not mean the team is going to refrain from selling at the NHL Trade Deadline.

Pettersson is in the first year of his eight-year, $92.8 million contract, one he signed with the franchise as recently as last March, and has faced criticism for inconsistent play of late including some internal drama involving fellow forward J.T. Miller.
