Carson Soucy of the Vancouver Canucks is finding himself in a precarious position as trade talks heat up ahead of the March 7 deadline. With a full no-trade clause this season and a 12-team clause next season, Soucy's future is uncertain, especially after the Canucks' acquisition of Marcus Pettersson. Although he has been demoted in the depth chart, there are signs he wishes to stay and work through this phase with the team.

While his agent has engaged in preliminary discussions regarding a potential trade, nothing is set in stone. Other Canucks defensemen, including Elias Pettersson, have shown strong performances, further complicating Soucy's status. Meanwhile, the NHL is buzzing with rumors of various players being available as teams assess their strategies leading up to the trade deadline.
