Canucks can’t strike a deal: Oliver Ekman-Larsson staying put in Arizona

The Arizona Coyotes captain is staying put in the desert.

After nearly two weeks of rumours connecting Oliver Ekman-Larsson to the Vancouver Canucks, the deal is now dead in the water according to The Athletic’s Craig Morgan.

Oliver Ekman-Larsson's agent Kevin Epp tells me that OEL is staying with the Coyotes: "Time's up."

Ekman-Larsson’s agent Kevin Epp announced earlier in the week that the Coyotes had until the beginning of free agency to trade Ekman-Larsson, otherwise the 29-year-old was staying put in Arizona.
