The Canucks are reportedly exploring a trade for two-time Stanley Cup winner Steven Stamkos, who is now with the Nashville Predators after spending most of his career with the Tampa Bay Lightning.

There isn't much going right for Steven Stamkos and the Nashville Predators right now, who came nowhere near the Stanley Cup Playoffs last year after coming into the season viewed as legitimate contenders.
Stamkos' time with Nashville has not worked out at all like he and the Predators thought when they signed him to a 4 year contract last summer with an AAV (average annual value) of $8 million.
Is his time in Nashville already counting down? Per a report from Vancouver Canucks analyst Rick Dhaliwal, the Canucks are said to be showing interest in acquiring Stamkos via trade.
This report was further fueled by analyst Cam Robinson, who said he's also heard rumors of a potential deal for Stamkos by the Canucks.
I've heard this floating around from a couple people as well.

Not sure how serious it is though.
Stamkos is off to a slow start again this year in Nashville with only two points (1G, 1A) in 11 games played.

Steven Stamkos Hasn't Lived Up To Expectations In Nashville

Not only did the Predators sign Stamkos last summer, but they also made multiple other high-profile signings like former 2023 Conn Smythe Trophy winner Jonathan Marchessault, who was coming off a 40 goal year with the Vegas Golden Knights.
They also signed defenseman Brady Skjei from the Carolina Hurricanes, and extended goaltender Juuse Saros.
But the Predators came nowhere close to a playoff spot in one of the more surprising storylines of the year, and they're a subpar 4-6-2 through 12 games.
