In light of Filip Hronek's injury, the Vancouver Canucks are actively seeking a defenseman, according to Thomas Drance. The team's management, led by Patrik Allvin and Jim Rutherford, is weighing options between acquiring a rental or a player with term.

While the rental market is limited and potentially costly, the Canucks have previously made quick moves to bolster their defense. They are also excited about their prospects but recognize the need for immediate upgrades.
