The Vancouver Canucks are currently missing their top two defencemen, Quinn Hughes and Filip Hronek. Since the beginning of the season, the Canucks defensive depth has been a concern with a lack of true top four defencemen and puck movers on the backend.

The Vancouver Canucks are at a crossroads when it comes to dealing with the present and future of star forwards J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson. On Saturday, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman shed light on the franchise’s deliberations regarding their two players and discussed the three possible outcomes this saga could reach.

The Vancouver Canucks have announced the latest update on forward Elias Pettersson. He’s been placed on Injured Reserve retroactive to Vancouver’s game on December 23 against the Seattle Kraken, as announced via their official X account.
