Canucks Could Circle Back to Star Player Via Trade After New Opportunity Presents Itself

Elite Scouting's Cam Robinson stated that the Canucks may consider circling back to Marco Rossi via trade if they feel like they can no longer get Jack Roslovic.

The Canucks are entering the 2025-26 NHL season more enthusiastically than ever before. With the team's new head coach, Adam Foote, and their ace captain Quinn Hughes, along with Elias Pettersson, the stakes are very high.

However, their team's roster is incomplete, and their GM, Patrik Allvin, appears eager to zero in on two major stars in order to plug the holes.

Coming up short the previous year, the stakes are high in Vancouver. The fans are tired of settling, as they expect the Stanley Cup, and only that.

One of only a handful of franchises that have never won the trophy, the Canucks are subjected to intense scrutiny.

Elias Pettersson, 26, is the focal point of the playoffs-or-bust mentality of Vancouver, and the team is hoping he comes through. Adam Foote, after the firing of Rick Tocchet, will also face the spotlight in his first year behind the Canucks bench.

The Canucks are Trying to Sign Jack Roslovic, but Could Circle Back to a Trade

Rounding out the wish list, Patrik Allvin is reportedly chasing two of the sport's largest names in UFA Jack Roslovic and RFA Marco Rossi.

Jack Roslovic is one of the sport's remaining premier free agents, himself being courted by the likes of the Maple Leafs and Avalanche. Marco Rossi is being held in the club's grasp, but negotiations have been shelved since June.

Re Canucks and Jack Roslovic: 'If it's not him, I know they were trying to get Marco Rossi too; maybe there is an opportunity to circle back.'
