LATEST | Canucks seeking to add toughness to roster: Nine targets fitting the profile linked to Allvin

The Vancouver Canucks continue to sit atop the NHL with a staggering 78 points, four ahead of the second-place Boston Bruins. They possess a 7-1-2 record in their last 10 games, and have four players producing at a point-per-game or higher.

However, as the trade deadline approaches, the Canucks reportedly may be looking to add toughness to their already-deep roster. According to Rick Dhaliwhal, they had previously expressed interest in fan-favourite Canadiens defender Arber Xhekaj. He is listed as one of nine potential tough-player fits for the Canucks as the deadline draws near.

Others included Xhekaj's Canadiens teammate, Michael Pezzetta, Flyers defender Nick Seeler, Sabres' power forward Jordan Greenway, and Wild forward Brandon Duhaime.

We're still a few weeks away from the trade deadline, but we'll know Patrik Allvin and Jim Rutherford have both been extremely active trying to find ways to improve their team.
