On Thursday, Vancouver Canucks GM Patrik Allvin did an intriguing radio hit with Sportsnet 650. Allvin discussed a wide variety of topics, including the struggles of center Elias Pettersson. The 26-year-old has 33 points in 47 games and was involved in trade rumours prior to the organization moving J.T. Miller to the New York Rangers .

According to NHL insider Chris Johnston, appearing on TSN's "OverDrive" on Tuesday, the organization has not ruled out the possibility of trading Elias Pettersson as the internal problems have gone nowhere and the forward has spent the season underperforming.

It took the Vancouver Canucks a couple of months to negotiate and finally pull off a trade with one of their feuding stars. As the heat between Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller continued, both found themselves among potential trade pieces for the Canucks.
