The Vancouver Canucks have reportedly set a very high asking price for pending unrestricted free agent centerman Teddy Blueger ahead of the trade deadline.<\/p>\n

With the National Hockey League’s trade deadline right around the corner, we’re about to enter the busiest time of the 2025-26 season, but with a roster freeze currently in effect until the conclusion of the 2026 Winter Olympics, the Vancouver Canucks are going to have to wait a bit before making their next move.<\/p>\n

As the club transitions into a rebuild, the priority for Patrik Allvin and Jim Rutherford is to get younger, whether that be through landing prospects or draft picks and it looks like the club is seeking a high return for former Stanley Cup champion Teddy Blueger.<\/p>\n

Vancouver Canucks reportedly seeking big return for pending UFA Teddy Blueger<\/p>\n

According to Thomas Drance of The Athletic, the Vancouver Canucks believe that they can get a high return for Teddy Blueger due to how thin the rental center market is this season around the league.<\/p>\n

“Given how Blueger has performed for Vancouver, and given the significant premium price that teams around the NHL are demanding for centres, the Canucks have set a relatively high price point for Blueger in trade talks.” Drance said.<\/p>\n

He added, “Based on what I\u2019m hearing about Blueger\u2019s market value, Vancouver is looking for at least a third-round pick as it considers selling Blueger before the trade deadline, and it may actually take somewhat more than that for a team to actually land him ahead of deadline day.”<\/p>\n

When healthy, Teddy Blueger has been very reliable for the Canucks, whether he’s playing his usual bottom-six role or if he’s thrusted into the top-six due to injury issues with the team and for that reason alone – his versatility – he would be a solid fit for any contending team.<\/p>\n

A return to the Vegas Golden Knights can’t be ruled out at this point as they look to add some more depth ahead of the trade deadline and after making a big splash last month by acquiring Rasmus Andersson from the Calgary Flames, it’s clear that they’re all-in as they chase their second Stanley Cup in franchise history.<\/p>\n
