The Vancouver Canucks are in a rebuild, and one of their top trade candidates is Jake DeBrusk.

DeBrusk, 29, is a solid middle-six left winger who has plenty of skill and playoff experience. He has 13 goals and 15 assists for 28 points in 58 games this season.

He also scored a career-high 28 goals and recorded 48 points last season for the Canucks, so he would be a nice pickup for a contender needing more scoring. 

DeBrusk has a $5.5-million cap hit until the end of the 2030-31 season. That is a very reasonable number for what DeBrusk provides. However, he has a full no-movement clause, and with five years left on his contract, he'd have to think long-term before deciding whether to accept a trade.
