Now I need some more practices with my teammates and whenever I\u2019ll be ready, I\u2019m going to be back. I can\u2019t wait for that day.\u201d<\/p>\n Trade Rumours Heating Up After Rutherford Interviews<\/p>\n Amidst this 10-game losing streak, Canucks president Jim Rutherford has done his rounds in the media discussing the state of the team. He all but confirmed the Canucks are in a rebuild, and that he and general manager Patrik Allvin will be taking calls on everyone on the roster \u2013 even the ones with no-movement and no-trade clauses.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s our duty to take calls on everyone,\u201d Rutherford said. \u201cWe may end up saying no to offers, certainly, but we\u2019re not going to say no to having conversations about any player. This is about improving this team without taking shortcuts\u201d (from \u2018Canucks\u2019 Jim Rutherford: \u2018We\u2019re open to conversations on all players,\u2019\u00a0The Province, 1\/14\/26).<\/p>\n Since then, every day has produced a new rumour. Here are some of the latest rumblings:<\/p>\n Kiefer Sherwood<\/p>\n The San Jose Sharks are the latest team to enter the conversation for Kiefer Sherwood, with Filip Bystedt coming the other way. Insider Rick Dhaliwal reported on Donnie and Dhali<\/a> that the Canucks have liked Bystedt since his draft year in 2022. Other names being discussed<\/a> include forwards Quentin Musty, Cam Lund, and Kasper Halttunen, defenders Leo Sahlin-Wallenius, Luca Cagnoni, and Haoxi Wang, and the usual first- and second-round draft picks.<\/p>\n Elliotte Friedman also reported during his Saturday Headlines segment on Hockey Day in Canada<\/a> that Sherwood\u2019s agent has been working with the team to find a suitable trade partner.<\/p>\n \u201cOne of the things that happened with the Quinn Hughes deal was that the Canucks allowed the agent to work with them to get that trade done, and that\u2019s absolutely one of the reasons it got done as quick as it did,\u201d Friedman said. \u201cThe same thing is now happening for Sherwood. He\u2019s a good player, he\u2019s having a great year and proving he\u2019s not a fluke.\u201d<\/p>\n It sounds like Sherwood could be moved before the Olympic roster freeze on Feb. 4.<\/p>\n Despite having a no-move clause, Elias Pettersson<\/a> continues to garner interest around the league. While the Canucks reportedly have not approached him<\/a> or his agent to waive it, The Province\u2018s Patrick Johnston says a trade is not impossible.<\/p>\n Johnston mentioned the Carolina Hurricanes as a team that remains interested, as well as surprise suitors, the Sharks and Chicago Blackhawks, who could use a two-way centre like him to complement superstars Macklin Celebrini and Connor Bedard. He might just need a shadow like that to hide in to return to the elite player we saw in 2022-23 (from \u2018Who is really on the Canucks\u2019 trade block?,\u2019 The Province, 1\/11\/26).<\/p>\n Other insiders have added the Los Angeles Kings and Detroit Red Wings to the mix as well.<\/p>\n Filip Hronek<\/p>\n Filip Hronek likely won\u2019t be traded, given his status as a core piece and leader, but that hasn\u2019t stopped the insiders from mentioning him. Friedman brought his name up on 32 Thoughts on Jan. 16<\/a>, saying, \u201cFilip Hronek has a no-move clause, he has control over it; if he was available, I could see a team like Ottawa doing something, I could see a whole bunch of teams calling.\u201d<\/p>\n That speculation was quickly shut down, however, as Hronek\u2019s agent tweeted out on Sunday<\/a>, \u201cThis is just wasted air. Great players are in demand everywhere. But the NHL is not fantasy hockey. Why bring up players that are not available for trade? Vancouver management and coaches are happy with Fil and Fil has no interest in going anywhere else.\u201d So, that settles it, Hronek is a core piece of this rebuild and won\u2019t be going anywhere. He could even be the next captain, succeeding his former defence partner, Quinn Hughes.<\/p>\n Canucks Schedule Jan. 19 \u2013 26<\/p>\n DateOpponentTime (PT)LocationMon, Jan. 19New York Islanders7:00 PMRogers ArenaWed, Jan. 21Washington Capitals7:00 PMRogers ArenaFri, Jan. 23New Jersey Devils7:00 PMRogers ArenaSun, Jan. 25Pittsburgh Penguins7:00 PMRogers Arena<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a>![\"Jim](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Jim-Rutherford-Canucks-1200x783.jpg\")
