Tonight, a new report from insider Elliotte Friedman has suggested the Vancouver Canucks will be aggressive to fill one specific need with a trade.

Early in the NHL season trades are few and far between as teams look to understand and see where their team is at before making changes for the present and the future.
However, in specific cases, a team that feels they are one piece away from contending could consider an early season move to get the player they desire most before competition swoops in.
According to Elliotte Friedman the Canucks are one of three teams to keep an eye on for an early season trade.

Vancouver Canucks Reportedly Eyeing Early Season Trade Per Insider

During a recent appearance on Sportsnet, Friedman confirmed that the Canucks, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Detroit Red Wings are making the most noise on the trade market as of now.
Friedman believes the Canucks and Maple Leafs are both searching for impact forwards while the Hurricanes are exploring all options.
It remains unknown exactly which players the Canucks might be interested but it is clear that Patrik Allvin and the front office feel a clear need to land an impactful center to push Filip Chytil and provide insurance in case of injuries.
As of now, a trade is not imminent but with the Canucks being this aggressive early on it is only a matter of time before they find a deal they like.
The Canucks will begin their season on Thursday against the Calgary Flames which will be fans' first look at Elias Pettersson and Filip Chytil as the team's top center duo.
As the situation continues to develop, we will continue updating Patrik Allvin and the Canucks potential plans.
