A new trade proposal has emerged this weekend that would see the Vancouver Canucks acquire a veteran winger with 500+ games of experience from a division rival.
One team that the Vancouver Canucks could turn their attention to is the Los Angeles Kings, who aren’t sellers, but would probably like to clear up some cap space and make another addition amid a season-ending injury to key forward Kevin Fiala.
“I hope these Canucks managers are in constant contact with Kenny Holland before he goes and does something stupid with someone else…Kenny, let’s chit chat about the deal you can make for Elias Pettersson.” Matt Sekeres said recently about the Los Angeles Kings being a teal the Canucks should talk trade with.
Trade proposal sends veteran forward to the Vancouver Canucks from Los Angeles Kings
The hypothetical move would give the Los Angeles Kings an additional $3.5 million in cap space to work with as they go all-in for Anze Kopitar’s final season in the National Hockey League, while for the Vancouver Canucks, it would give them a player who could be of use to them beyond this season and potentially even flip ahead of the 2026-27 trade deadline in 12 months.
“When looking at the Canucks’ current forward group, Foegele would slot nicely in their top nine. In addition, due to his solid two-way play, he would give the Canucks another option for both their power play and penalty kill if acquired.” DeRosa said about Foegele’s potential fit with the Vancouver Canucks.
Foegele, a native of Markham, Ontario, is currently in his ninth season in the National Hockey League, but has struggled in a big way for the Kings and could be in need of a fresh start.
After back-to-back 20-goal seasons, the 29-year-old has registered just six goals and eight points, along with 14 penalty minutes and is a minus-five in 43 games for Los Angeles, but with a fresh start and a bigger opportunity, which he would certainly get in Vancouver if they sell off players as expected at the deadline, he could have the chance to drive up those numbers a bit.
