The Vancouver Canucks have to upgrade the linemates for top centres in Elias Pettersson and Bo Horvat, because Brock Boeser can’t be the only reliable scoring winger here.
If he prioritizes finding a winger with the No. 10 pick, general manager Jim Benning should be able to find somebody good when it’s his turn to select. But Benning knows he can’t stop there. Not when there are plenty of big-time goal-scorers available in both the trade and free agent markets.
Well, one of the game’s premier scorers is apparently available in a trade.
