The agent for Elias Pettersson, J.P. Barry, has responded to rumors regarding his client’s future with the Vancouver Canucks organization with the deadline looming.
Over the last month, trade rumors have begun ramping up involving several members of the Vancouver Canucks as the team finally gets set to enter a rebuild, something fans have been calling for for quite some time now.
“There’s a growing suspicion around the league that we will. I can just tell you from the volume of calls and the interest that the Vancouver Canucks have fielded that it feels like it’s trending in that direction and that he’s gaining some traction on the trade market.” Seravalli said on Monday’s edition of Frankly Hockey.
Elias Pettersson’s agent respond to trade rumors regarding client’s future with Vancouver Canucks
There is one major roadblock preventing the Vancouver Canucks from trading Elias Pettersson and his massive $11.6 million cap hit – a no-movement clause that kicked in ahead on July 1st, 2025.
That no-movement clause gives Elias Pettersson full control over his future and where he could go, if he’s willing to be traded, but his agent J.P. Barry is pumping the breaks a bit regarding those rumors of a potential move.
“I think he’s happy. I mean, no one’s happy when they’re losing.” Barry said.
He added, “He [Pettersson] committed to be there and try to make the best of it, and he’s going to do that. I’m sure there’s going to be all kinds of discussions at the end of this year about every player on that team.”
However as everyone knows, things can change at the drop of a hat at this time of year and the Vancouver Canucks may get an offer for the Sundsvall, Sweden native that they can’t refuse, but it’ll all come down to Pettersson waiting his no-movement clause, something that is far from a guarantee at this moment.
