The Vancouver Canucks may not be done dealing after trading away superstar Quinn Hughes late last week, and Lukas Reichel may be next.
The Vancouver Canucks pulled off a blockbuster trade this week. But the Buffalo Sabres need to connect with the Canucks to try and acquire star center Elias Pettersson. A bold trade package might just lure him from Vancouver's rebuild -- and generate a Sabres retool.
Zeev Buium scored in his first game since being traded to Vancouver, Thatcher Demko stopped 25 of the 26 shots, and the Canucks beat the Devils 2-1 on Sunday.
The Vancouver Canucks placed Elias Pettersson on injured reserve on Sunday and activated fellow forward Marco Rossi from IR.
The Devils quickly got on the board when Dawson Mercer led an odd-man rush up ice with Jesper Bratt. Mercer left the puck for the Swedish forward, then connected with Luke Hughes, who rifled a shot from the left circle past Demko to cut Vancouver’s lead to 2-1.
Three former Wild prospects, Rossi, Buium, and Ohgren, are set to make their Canucks debuts, reshaping Vancouver's lines.
