In a recent discussion, Elliotte Friedman shared insights on the Vancouver Canucks' approach to the trade market. He highlighted the proactive nature of the team's front office, led by Jim Rutherford and Patrik Allvin, who are exploring options to strengthen their defense.

Friedman noted that while the trade landscape is tight, the Canucks are assessing their internal talent, including prospects Aatu Raty and Jonathan Lekkerimaki, to determine if they need to make external moves.
