NHL Trade Rumors: Vancouver Canucks open to trade offers on nearly all players after Maple Leafs loss

The Vancouver Canucks are open to trade inquiries for almost any player after they faced a humiliating defeat against the Toronto Maple Leafs, leading to their six-game losing streak. The Canucks faced a massive 5-0 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight. Despite Vancouver outshooting Toronto, the Canucks were unable to defend efficiently against the Maple Leafs' offensive onslaught.

As per Sekeres and Price, trade talks have elevated after the embarrassing loss, and at this point, the Canucks are listening to offers on just about every player.

According to reports, the Canucks were given numerous opportunities to score during the first period, as the Maple Leafs took four different penalties. However, things went topsy-turvy for the Canucks, as their power play went 0-for-4 during the first period despite putting up their best chances while playing at 4-on-3.

Due to the inconsistent performance and repeated defeat, trade talk around the Canucks has reportedly heated up. In the wake of this incident, NHL insider Darren Dreger revealed that Vancouver’s management is open to exploring offers for nearly every player. Let’s take a look at the trade rumor of the Canucks and the players in detail.

Who are the players that the Vancouver Canucks are planning to trade after the Maple Leafs' rout?

The Vancouver Canucks faced a huge 5‑0 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs this past weekend, which extended the Canucks’ losing streak to six games. In the wake of the defeat, trade talk around the Canucks has reportedly heated up, and they are planning to trade almost all players.

On this week’s Sekeres & Price podcast, NHL insider Darren Dreger revealed that Vancouver’s management is open to exploring offers for nearly every player. In the podcast, Dreger stated, “I know that trade talk around certain individuals with the Vancouver Canucks has elevated of late, and maybe that's coming off the weekend loss in Toronto, and they're getting set for the Montreal Canadiens here.” (source: Sportskeeda)


He further stated that how they are going to trade the players, “That's not what the Canucks are trying to do here. So use any 'r' word you want: renovate, retool, rejig, whatever. It doesn't matter, but they're moving pieces. For sure, they are… And I think, for the most part, Alvin and Jimmy Rutherford are open to any communication about just about any player.” (source: Sportskeeda)

Speculations suggest that the potential trade targets include veteran defenseman Tyler Myers, with a $3 million cap hit and one year left. Another player includes a forward like Jake DeBrusk, and others such as Evander Kane.

Meanwhile, on the ice, the Canucks also suffered a 6‑3 loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Monday. They are currently sitting at the bottom of the NHL standings with a 16‑24‑5 record and 37 points, extending their losing streak to seven games following their humiliating blowout by Toronto.
