The 2018 Trade Deadline is looming and the Vancouver Canucks will be sellers. Through a combination of multiple injuries and goaltending that has fallen back to Earth, the Canucks are currently 10 points out of a playoff spot.
During his state-of-the-union address, found on Sportsnet 650, Trevor Linden said Bo Horvat could be back around the All-Star break. Brandon Sutter‘s injury is complex and his timeline is unknown.
Linden did not comment on trading players like Erik Gudbranson or Thomas Vanek and was non-committal when asked about making a trade to push for the final wild-card spot in the West.
