LATEST | Canucks talking trades with the Coyotes: Big winger drawing the Canucks' interest

As we slowly work our way towards the National Hockey League's trade deadline in early March, rumours are going to be swirling and with the Canucks in a playoff spot, they're name will certainly come up.

Now, as with any rumours, it's important to take this with a grain of salt, but according to reports, the Vancouver Canucks have been discussing a deal with the Arizona Coyotes that would send Andrei Kuzmenko to the desert in exchange for Lawson Crouse and a 2024 second-round pick.

"The Coyotes are reportedly offering forward Lawson Crouse and a 2024 2nd-round draft pick, originally from the Washington Capitals.

In return, the Canucks are considering sending Andrei Kuzmenko their way."



Crouse, 26, is having a fairly good season so far for the Coyotes. In 36 games, he's recorded 24 points (16 goals, eight assists). While Crouse would be a solid addition and plays a style that would be perfect for playoff hockey, the Canucks should have their eyes on a bigger target, such as Jake Guentzel.
