The Whiteboard: The Trade Freeze Looms

from Canucks Talk · host Sportsnet

In this edition of The Whiteboard, the guys dig into Vancouver’s trade outlook ahead of the Olympic roster freeze, why meaningful movement may be limited for now, and how leverage could increase closer to the deadline. They debate which Canucks players might be willing to waive for a fresh start, whether the team can afford to sell low, and why there’s been little trade heat around names like EP40, Boeser, and Garland. The conversation also touches on a shootout loss to Toronto, Tom Willander’s flashes of upside, Lekkerimäki’s encouraging call-up, and Barry Trotz stepping down as Predators GM. The show wraps with some levity around the Canucks’ upcoming mom trip and a reality check on Vancouver’s first-overall lottery odds.
