Tonight massive news has surfaced regarding Elias Pettersson's future with the Vancouver Canucks. For months, speculation has been building around the <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/vancouver-canucks/eastern-conference-team-linked-to-elias-pettersson-as-trade-discussions-begin-to-heat-up' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>future of Elias Pettersson.</a> This summer Pettersson is set to have his no trade clause kick into his contract meaning he would be tethered to the Canucks for the foreseeable future. With the locker room issues surrounding Pettersson this past season there was a lot of uncertainty whether or not the Canucks would be willing to commit to Pettersson. Many expected the Canucks to field trade calls and potentially move on for a different option at number one center. Earlier today, insider David Pagnotta put together a list of teams who have kicked the tires on a trade involving Pettersson over the last few weeks. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/vcanucksnews/status/1932863660168511933'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Even with all of this speculation we finally have an answer regarding this dilemma that has been facing Jim Rutherford, Patrik Allvin, and the Canucks organization as Pierre LeBrun has confirmed the team's plans for Pettersson. <h3>NHL Insider Pierre LeBrun Sets Elias Pettersson's Future With The Canucks In Stone</h3> In a new report from Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic it has been confirmed that the Vancouver Canucks have no plans to trade Elias Pettersson before his no trade clause kicks in. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/nhlrumourreport/status/1932982354227679292'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> LeBrun continued and revealed that Pettersson's strong work already during the offseason convinced the Canucks to go all in supporting him for the future. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/taj1944/status/1932941276133175762'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> This officially means that the Canucks will move forward with Elias Pettersson and Quinn Hughes as their cornerstone pieces. This also likely puts Quinn Hughes' future in less doubt as well as he will be more likely to re-sign knowing he has a partner in crime superstar. Now, with this behind Pettersson and the Canucks, he will need to have a major bounce back year to prove he can still be the superstar forward that the Canucks expect him to be going forward.
