An NHL insider doesn’t believe that Vancouver Canucks GM Patrik Allvin will complete all his moves before the trade deadline and shouldn’t rush to get a deal done.
“But prior to this, we already made the decision that we were going to go with younger players. Over the past few years, our staff has done a good job and we have a number of good young players, whether they’re in our lineup now or close to getting in our lineup. And those players are going to get a chance to play. Based on the circumstances with this team, this is the year to do it. The fact of the matter is we’re in a rebuild.” President of Hockey Operations Jim Rutherford said.
While the Vancouver Canucks have some moves they absolutely need to get done before the deadline, such as finding new homes for their pending unrestricted free agents – Teddy Blueger, David Kampf and Evander Kane, one insider thinks Patrik Allvin can afford to be patient with some of his other trade chips.

During a recent appearance on Sekeres and Price, National Hockey League insider Harman Dayal doesn’t believe that the Vancouver Canucks need to rush and can be a bit patient with some of their veteran players they’d like to move, perhaps pushing those potential deals to the offseason.
“I have some degree of concern, but I’m trying to remind myself that we don’t need to see all of these deals done before the trade deadline, right? They have until July 1st.” Dayal said.
Rick Dhaliwal of Donnie and Dhali reported earlier this month that the Vancouver Canucks are open to moving Conor Garland and are seeing what they could get for him on the market, but stressed that the player isn’t too keen on leaving the club at this moment.
Aside from Conor Garland, other Canucks veterans that have seen their names in the rumor mill include Brock Boeser, Jake DeBrusk and Tyler Myers, all of whom are signed beyond the 2025-26 campaign and could be potential trade chips for deadline day 2027, rather than this year, depending on how the start of next season goes.
