Sportsnet hockey insider Elliotte Friedman reports the latest on the NHL trading block. By the sounds of things, the Vancouver Canucks are open for Business. Elliotte Friedman said,
"Jim Rutherford has put together his front office, almost finished there still could be some more hires, and now he's getting down to business talking about potential trades with the rest of the league," said Friedman on Saturday. "There's been a lot of rumors about J.T. Miller but I think it goes deeper than that. I think the Canucks have a number of their forwards that they are discussing with other teams around the league."
For fans worried that Rutherford and Canucks' new GM Patrick Allvin would deal the team's star players, Elliotte Friedman confirmed they are not in play yet. But if the team doesn't improve, anything is possible. I believe the only untouchable on the Canucks is captain Bo Horvat.
