The Vancouver Canucks have reportedly opened the door to trading several veteran players as they look to retool their roster. This news, reported by Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, has sent "shockwaves" around the league. While the Canucks aren't looking for a full rebuild, they are aiming to get younger and accumulate assets. General Manager Patrik Allvin and President of Hockey Operations Jim Rutherford are seemingly ready to act quickly, given Rutherford's history of making deals well before the trade deadline.

Here's a look at eight veterans who could be on the move:

1. Evander Kane: The forward is a pending unrestricted free agent (UFA) with a partial no-trade clause. Kane has a history of playoff performance, scoring 10 goals and 20 points in 41 playoff games.

2. Teddy Blueger: Blueger is another pending UFA with a partial no-trade clause. He could provide valuable depth to a contending team.

3. Kiefer Sherwood: The winger is a pending UFA who is generating significant interest around the league. With 31 goals and 56 points in 101 games over the past two seasons, Sherwood is considered a prime trade candidate. Some believe that Sherwood is the most popular and most tradeable asset that the Canucks have.

4. David Kampf: Kampf is a pending UFA who could be a valuable addition to a team seeking defensive stability.

5. Derek Forbort: The defenseman is a pending UFA. Forbort could be a target for teams looking to add a stay-at-home defenseman.

6. Tyler Myers: Myers has one year remaining on his contract and has a full no-movement clause that changes to a 12-team no-trade list next season.

7. Elias Pettersson: Despite having term left on his contract ($11.6 million cap hit), Pettersson could be available. Moving Pettersson would allow the Canucks to shed his large contract and acquire valuable assets in return. However, Pettersson has a no-move clause.

8. Drew O'Connor: O'Connor has one year remaining on his contract and could yield a positive return for the Canucks.

It is important to note that several Canucks players have trade protection, including no-move clauses. These players include Elias Pettersson, Brock Boeser, Jake DeBrusk, Filip Hronek, Marcus Pettersson, and Tyler Myers. This complicates the Canucks' ability to make trades. Despite the Canucks' willingness to trade veterans, they are not actively shopping Quinn Hughes or Filip Hronek. However, some believe that Hughes could be traded if he does not commit to the franchise long-term. The Philadelphia Flyers are rumored to have interest in Hughes, especially given Hughes' connection with current Flyers coach Rick Tocchet.
