Many Vancouver Canucks fans were opposed to the idea of trading for Buffalo Sabres winger Evander Kane. So far this season, however, Kane was the only (known) forward the Canucks actively pursued. But that may have changed.
According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, the Colorado Avalanche are prepared to move core players, including captain Gabriel Landeskog and first-line centre Matt Duchene.
Depending on the Canucks’ preferences, both Duchene and Landeskog could be extremely interesting for a potential trade.

Landeskog would be a great fit for the second-line left wing position that Vancouver wanted Kane for.
