Miller.<\/p>\n<p>Reports last week\u00a0indicated\u00a0the Canucks rejected an offer of Mika Zibanejad from the New York Rangers last November. Meanwhile, there&#8217;s speculation the Carolina Hurricanes revisited their interest in Pettersson. The Athletic&#8217;s Aaron Portzline\u00a0cited internet buzz linking the Columbus Blue Jackets to Pettersson, but he indicated a team source denied any trade talks had taken place.<\/p>\n<p>Almost all the trade chatter linked Pettersson and Miller to Eastern Conference teams. However, Sportsnet&#8217;s Elliotte Friedman\u00a0reported\u00a0on Saturday that the Canucks haven&#8217;t shut down interest from Western Conference teams.<\/p>\n<p>It makes sense for Canucks management to explore all options as they gauge the trade market for Miller and Pettersson. Their willingness to entertain offers from Western clubs suggests they&#8217;re not getting suitable trade proposals from Eastern teams.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Connor-Bedard-Leon-Draisaitl.jpg?fit=1200%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Connor Bedard Archives - NHL Trade Talk\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Hockey News&#8217; Adam Kierszenblat\u00a0wrote the Canucks could use a roster shakeup in general to find another puck-moving defenseman and a top-six forward. But as for the Pettersson-Miller rumors, he said the problem with moving either player is getting fair value back.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Edmonton Oilers\u00a0announced Evander Kane underwent knee surgery last week. He requires four to six weeks of recovery, putting his rehab from last fall&#8217;s abdominal surgery on hold.<\/p>\n<p>That prompted David Staples of the\u00a0<em>Edmonton Journal<\/em>\u00a0to\u00a0ponder\u00a0whether the Oilers might place Kane on long-term injury reserve if he&#8217;s sidelined for the remainder of the regular season. It would allow the Oilers to exceed the cap by $5.1 million, enabling them to bolster their roster before the March 7 trade deadline.<\/p>\n<p>Oilers GM Stan Bowman said the club will wait and see how things go with Kane&#8217;s recovery and rehab. They&#8217;re uncertain as to when he&#8217;ll return to the lineup.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/ybmedia\/image\/upload\/c_crop,h_800,w_2000,x_0,y_152\/c_fill,f_auto,h_320,q_auto,w_800\/v1\/m\/9\/b\/9b1c648568ebd06573ebb6b4ec8d79d54dd0136c\/dec-31-2024-chicago-illinois-usa-chicago.jpg\" alt=\"Taylor Hall: Breaking News, Rumors &amp; Highlights | Yardbarker\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Staples\u00a0observed\u00a0the Oilers have limited trade capital among their prospects and draft picks. They hold second- and third-round picks from the St. Louis Blues that they received as compensation for signing Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg to offer sheets last summer. He believes they need physical puck-moving forwards and defensemen, suggesting they add a second-pairing blueliner and a third-line winger.<\/p>\n<p>Turning to the Chicago Blackhawks, Scott Powers of The Athletic\u00a0believes\u00a0Taylor Hall is the most likely to be moved among their roster players. The 33-year-old left winger is producing at almost the same pace as he was two years ago on a deeper Boston Bruins club.<\/p>\n<p>Powers also suggested center Ryan Donato as another trade candidate. He&#8217;s been among the Blackhawks&#8217; better players this season but would be a checking-line forward on a contender. Power believes Hall and Donato could fetch third-round picks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elias Pettersson and Vasily PodkolzinBob Frid-Imagn Images\u00a0Bob Frid-Imagn Images The NHL rumor mill continues buzzing over the Vancouver Canucks&#8217; intentions for Elias Pettersson and J.T.
