Vancouver Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin said Monday he’s open to making a trade — as long as the deal makes sense for the team. His remarks come as trade buzz continues to swirl about the future of star Canucks center J.

With the recent rumors of Thatcher Demko not wanting to play in Vancouver, worried thoughts begin to form. If Demko is traded, who becomes the go-to man in net for the Vancouver Canucks?

NHL insider Corey Pronman of The Athletic suggested a trade involving J.T. Miller and the Carolina Hurricanes.

It was yet another embarrassing outing by the Vancouver Canucks on home ice Thursday night against the Los Angeles Kings, dropping the game 5-1 with the first three goals scored on just four shots on goalie Thatcher Demko.

J.T. Miller and the Vancouver Canucks secured a 3-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday at Rogers Arena. Quinn Hughes scored twice on the power play and Danton Heinen added another goal.

In and out of Vancouver, the consensus seems to be this can’t continue: great wins, terrible losses and The Miller vs. Pettersson rumours. It’s halfway though the season and no one is quite sure who these Vancouver Canucks are or who will be on the team after the trade deadline.

The Edmonton Oilers will be without suspended superstar Connor McDavid when they host the struggling Vancouver Canucks on Thursday night in the second game between the Pacific Division rivals in less than a week.

With trade speculation swirling about Buffalo Sabres center Dylan Cozens, 20-year-old Jiri Kulich impressed coach Lindy Ruff on the first line.

Who were we kidding? If subduing the struggling Buffalo Sabres was the only thing at play Tuesday, it would be just another day at Rogers Arena. However, with constant leaguewide attention on the if-and-when potential of a possible J.

It’s cold outside and heating up at Rogers Arena. Either way, you probably need a strong cup or two of java this morning to make sense of what’s occurring with the consistently inconsistent Vancouver Canucks.

Kulich’s final faceoff of the night came with 18 seconds remaining and the Sabres clinging to a one-goal lead in a game they desperately needed. His opponent, J.T. Miller, entered the night with a 58.7-percent success rate in the circle. Kulich won the draw and, seconds later, cleared the puck out of the defensive zone.
