Per a new report from NHL analyst Darren Dreger, the days of Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson in British Columbia could be numbered.
It's been a large struggle for the Vancouver Canucks this year, who have sunk to the lowest spot in the Pacific Division with a multi-game losing streak.
It's also not helping them that they've once again lose goaltender Thatcher Demko, who missed 12 games earlier this year, to yet another injury.
Multiple Canucks players are embroiled in trade rumours, and one of them is Elias Pettersson.
Per a new report from NHL analyst Darren Dreger, Pettersson's days in a Canucks sweater could be numbered.

Pettersson is one of several players on the Canucks who could soon find themselves traded, including Conor Garland and Kiefer Sherwood.
Elias Pettersson Had A Rift With Ex-Teammate JT Miller Last Year
Last year, in which the Canucks missed the playoffs, Pettersson was involved in a reported rift with teammate JT Miller.
Even though both players denied the existence of a rift between them, team president Jim Rutherford confirmed it not long before Miller would be traded to the New York Rangers, the team that originally created him into the NHL.
Pettersson, who was taken with the fifth overall pick by the Canucks in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, has 484 career points (197G, 287A) in 508 games, all in a Vancouver sweater.
