As the Vancouver Canucks enter a turning point for the organization, much has been made of the trade candidacy of center Elias Pettersson<\/a>. Multiple teams have shown interest in the former 102-point scorer, but there are no reports of any substantial developments.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, it doesn\u2019t sound like Pettersson has any interest in leaving Vancouver. Speaking on Donnie and Dhali<\/a>, Sportsnet\u2019s Elliotte Friedman said, \u201cI know there\u2019s a lot of talk about Elias Pettersson right now, I just haven\u2019t been given any indication that he is willing to waive at this point in time.\u201d<\/p>\n

If the Canucks cannot find a suitable trade partner that Pettersson would consider, or if he simply does not want to leave Vancouver, he has the right to block the trade. Pettersson has a full no-movement clause in his contract, and it will remain through the 2031-32 NHL season.<\/p>\n

Additional morning notes:<\/p>\n

According to an article from Anthony Di Marco of Daily Faceoff<\/a>, the St. Louis Blues have understandably set an extremely high asking price for forward Robert Thomas<\/a>. Even as perceived sellers leading up to the trade deadline, the Blues aren\u2019t actively looking to move Thomas, though they will do their due diligence if a suitor gives them an offer they can\u2019t refuse. Still, Di Marco spoke with an anonymous team source of a club that contacted St. Louis regarding Thomas, and that negotiations were killed relatively quickly due to the asking price.
\nThe Colorado Avalanche had a slight change to their forward core in last night\u2019s blowout loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. Before the game, Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now reported<\/a> that Ross Colton<\/a> would miss the contest with a lower-body injury (day-to-day) and that Joel Kiviranta<\/a> would take his place in the lineup. Kiviranta recently missed nearly a month with his own injury, and went scoreless in last night\u2019s contest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As the Vancouver Canucks enter a turning point for the organization, much has been made of the trade…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":419992,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[49,48,758,13057,5718,2362,72294,179467,82,759,452],"class_list":["post-430734","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-colorado-avalanche","tag-elias-pettersson","tag-injury","tag-joel-kiviranta","tag-robert-thomas","tag-ross-colton","tag-sports","tag-st-louis-blues","tag-vancouver-canucks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430734","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=430734"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430734\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/419992"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=430734"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=430734"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=430734"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
