The Canucks, along with two other teams, have been linked to two possible blockbuster trades for Pavel Zacha and Bo Horvat, per NHL insider Chris Johnston. <a href='https://x.com/reporterchris' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>NHL insider Chris Johnston</a> sparked huge speculation about potential deals that could be on the NHL trade board by name-dropping a few star veteran forwards. He believes trades could surface sometime soon. The players mentioned as part of the rumored blockbusters would be Boston's Pavel Zacha and the New York Islanders' Bo Horvat, both of whom would easily attract a great deal of interest if their teams dangled them in a possible trade. <h3>Three Canadian Teams Have Been Listed as Potential Suitors for These Two Star Players</h3> For rosters such as the Toronto Maple Leafs, Vancouver Canucks, and the Montreal Canadiens, Chris Johnston believes the chance for a proven commodity and two-way reliability may come as a welcome boost. Maybe some veteran forwards become available whether it's...Pavel Zacha in Boston or Bo Horvat with the Islanders; players that could satisfy the needs in places like Montreal, Vancouver, maybe even Toronto. - Chris Johnston <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/NHLRumourReport/status/1970540665886122068'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> All three of these teams were listed as potential landing spots for adding depth at center ice or a forward who is skilled enough for the big-minute moments. Vancouver, specifically, has been part of the trading rumble a lot as of late. As they try to keep up with a widely improved Western Conference, <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/vancouver-canucks/patrik-allvin-provides-new-update-on-the-vancouver-canucks-pursuit-of-a-second-line-center' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>a grizzled forward would give them the necessary complementary scoring and leadership that they truly need</a> if they want to get back in the playoffs. Toronto, meanwhile, is also looking for equilibrium behind their high-octane stars, while Montreal is still trying to speed up the rebuild with impact players and make it past the first round of the playoffs. With the regular season nearing and rosters becoming more defined with each passing day, the thought of adding forwards like Zacha or Horvat could very well become one of the juiciest storylines to chase in the coming weeks.
