4 Players Canucks Expected To Get Calls On

The Vancouver Canucks have no reason not to take calls on every one of their players at this point. They need to go into a rebuild and have seemingly already started with their first two trades of the season. They are dead last in the NHL and have one win in their past 12 games. More players are going to get moved, it's just a matter of how many the Canucks are willing to part with to really rebuild.

Elliotte Freidman said, "The Canucks will get calls on Filip Hronek, Conor Garland, Tyler Myers, and Drew O'Connor."

Unfortunately for the Canucks, a couple of no-move clauses might get in the way. But where the Canucks are headed, those clauses might be waived for a few teams if Vancouver is serious about moving them. Hronek, who will fetch a haul with his term and ability, has his choice whether he wants to stay or go for at least the next three years until his contract opens up to a 15-team no-trade clause. Myers has a no-move clause for this year and the final year of his contract, but given the lack of playoff success and especially appearances recently, he may want a chance to win late in his career.

Garland has no trade protection until his next contract kicks in, but it will also take a good amount of assets to pull him away from Vancouver seeing how he's played. He does it all for Vancouver, and would have a slightly higher trade value as Kiefer Sherwood if the team acquiring him were to only get him for this season. Now add on five more years at $6 million AAV. A team might be willing to pay that, or the Canucks could hold onto him and make it harder on themselves to trade him later.

O'Connor is in the first of a two-year deal at $2.5 million AAV and has 12 goals and 19 points on the season. He'd be a solid bottom-6 addition and only has a 12-team no-trade clause, so it's more than likely the Canucks would send him off this season to get other players up or brought in.

These four players are only some of the players the Canucks could move, but don't have to. There's room to work with, but there is at least some interest in all of them as they all hold value.
