Vancouver Canucks: Trade Talk Heats Up Around Garland, Foegele, Myers, and Potential Roster Changes

As the NHL trade deadline on March 6 approaches, the Vancouver Canucks find themselves in an interesting position as a rebuilding team with several veteran players who could be on the move. General Manager Patrik Allvin has indicated a willingness to listen to offers for virtually any player on the roster, but the Canucks are not proactively trying to move anyone. Here's a look at some of the latest news and rumors surrounding potential Canucks' trade moves.

Conor Garland

Conor Garland's name has been frequently mentioned in trade discussions. Several teams are reportedly interested in the 29-year-old forward, despite his recent scoring slump. NHL insider Darren Dreger notes that Garland's pace and ability to play in a middle-six role make him an "intriguing possibility" for teams looking to add depth. However, the Canucks aren't actively trying to trade him.

The timing of a potential Garland trade is tricky because, while he currently has no trade protection, his new six-year, $36 million contract extension with a full no-movement clause kicks in on July 1, 2026. This means that after that date, Garland will have full control over his destination for the first three years of the contract, making him significantly tougher to trade.

Some analysts believe that Garland's contract situation could limit the return the Canucks might receive for him. NHL analyst Cam Robinson cautioned against expecting a major return, stating that the no-move clause attached to his upcoming contract will make him difficult to move. Thomas Drance and Paul Chapman consider Garland and Brock Boeser as the most likely to be traded by March 6.

Warren Foegele

The Canucks are reportedly considering a low-risk move to acquire Warren Foegele from the Los Angeles Kings. The Kings are looking to create cap space and Foegele, with a $3.5 million cap hit, has become the odd man out. The Canucks could potentially acquire Foegele for a mid-round pick or even "future considerations".

The appeal of acquiring Foegele lies in his potential for a rebound. Just a year removed from a 24-goal campaign, Foegele could regain his scoring touch in Vancouver. If the Canucks can rehabilitate Foegele's play, they could potentially flip him for a better return at the next trade deadline. The Canucks could get a mid-round pick now and something better next year.

Tyler Myers

Tyler Myers' name has also surfaced in trade rumors. A recent report linked the veteran defenseman to an Eastern Conference team. Although Myers has a full no-move clause this season, it converts to a modified no-trade clause next season. This means that any trade involving Myers would require his approval.

With the Canucks in a rebuild, moving Myers could bring back valuable assets in terms of draft picks or prospects. However, keeping Myers could also be beneficial, as he could provide a veteran presence and help guide the team's younger players. Some reports suggest that the Canucks won't trade Myers. Tyler Myers of the Vancouver Canucks is on the market and could see playing in San Jose as the perfect destination for the next chapter of his career.

Other Potential Moves

In addition to Garland, Foegele, and Myers, several other Canucks players could be on the move. Evander Kane, Teddy Blueger, and David Kampf are pending unrestricted free agents who could be traded if the Canucks receive the right offers. Elias Pettersson and Jake DeBrusk are other potential assets to move. The Canucks have a complicated situation with Elias Pettersson.
