The NHL offseason is humming along, and with free agency now nearly a month old, the majority of quality players are off the market. Now, teams looking to add to their rosters will largely examine trade options, while others seek deals to dump salaries and fit under the cap.
One player who could be on the move is Vancouver Canucks winger Loui Eriksson. The 34-year-old is set to carry a cap hit of $6 million next season, and he hasn't exactly been glowing about his role with the franchise this offseason.
According to Sportsnet's Dan Murphy, the Canucks "had something close to being done" before the trade deadline involving Eriksson and winger Milan Lucic.
