“The Vancouver Canucks are believed to be looking for a middle-six forward to add to their roster due to winger Nils Hoglander missing the next eight-to-ten weeks because of an injury.” Pagnotta said.

He added, “The Canucks have just over $1.33 million in available salary cap space, according to PuckPedia, but can create additional space by sending one or more waivers-exempt players down.

Canucks GM Patrik Allvin has been exploring options, according to separate league sources, but it is unclear if a move is imminent.”
