Jun 13 2025, 11:40 pmThe spotlight will be bright on Elias Pettersson when he arrives to training camp next season — assuming the Vancouver Canucks don’t trade him before then.

Jun 12 2025, 6:20 pmWe’re 19 days away from Elias Pettersson’s no-movement clause kicking in, but it doesn’t sound like the Vancouver Canucks are interested in trading him before July 1.
