LATEST | Canucks linked to ten really intriguing non-rental targets approaching the trade deadline
The National Hockey League's 2023-24 season trade deadline is quickly approaching. While the Vancouver Canucks have already made some significant additions, they could still be in the market for depth.
However, if Patrik Allvin wishes to acquire players with term or who are pending unrestricted free agents that they're confident they can re-sign, there are plenty of solid options.
On Tuesday, Thomas Drance of The Athletic identified ten potential non-rental targets for Patrik Allvin and the Vancouver Canucks. Let's take a look at who Drance thinks the Canucks should target ahead of March 8th's trade deadline.
- Chris Tanev (D) - Calgary Flames.
- Pavel Buchnevich (LW) - St. Louis Blues.
- Frank Vatrano (LW) - Anaheim Ducks.
- Jordan Greenway (LW) - Buffalo Sabres.
- Nick Bjugstad (C) - Arizona Coyotes.
- Jon Merrill (D) - Minnesota Wild.
- Alexandre Texier (LW) - Columbus Blue Jackets.
- Andrew Peeke OR Adam Boqvist (D) - Columbus Blue Jackets.
- Michael Carcone (LW) - Arizona Coyotes.
All of the names above mentioned by Drance come with various costs, with someone like Pavel Buchnevich likely costing the most. At the same time, Michael Carcone or Nick Bjugstad would be much lower and affordable for the Canucks.
