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

The Carolina Hurricanes have emerged as a potential suitor for Vancouver Canucks star Elias Pettersson, according to TSN’s Chris Johnston. Speaking on TSN’s "Insider Trading" on Tuesday, Johnston first noted that Vancouver remains active in trade discussions involving both Pettersson and J.

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

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.

If Elias Pettersson is indeed being shopped by the Canucks, where would he best fit? Ryan Dixon takes a look at the top candidates.

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.
