There remain several players on the Canucks who have been listed as potential trade candidates, and per analyst Michael DeRosa, one such piece could be moved to the divisional foe Oilers.

The Canucks Are Reportedly Listening To Offers On Veteran Players
The Canucks have already made a monumental and franchise-altering trade, trading captain Quinn Hughes to the Minnesota Wild and getting multiple pieces in return, including a first round pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft.
Since the trade, the Canucks have gone a perfect 4-0, a scenario that not many would have expected.
But per a report from NHL analyst Elliotte Friedman, the Canucks are still willing to listen to offers on some of their veteran players.
According to several sources, the Vancouver Canucks have let it be known that - in an effort to get younger - they are willing to listen to offers on 'veteran players.'
What it does appear to mean is potential UFAs and potentially a player or two with term, but the Canucks have also indicated they do not desire to tear it right down to the studs. - Elliotte Friedman

As the NHL trade deadline approaches it will be interesting to see which of these rumors turn into reality.
