Today, an article was released on Sportsnet after Iain MacIntyre had a chat with the team's GM, Patrik Allvin.

Allvin was hired as the team's GM just over a year ago and we're finally starting to see the type of team he wants to showcase on the ice. It's fair to say that this team's retooling depends a ton on Elias Pettersson, can the Canucks manage to keep him? Or will he end up elsewhere the former captain Bo Horvat?
