According to Elliotte Friedman, the Vancouver Canucks and Carolina Hurricanes were in advanced talks about a possible trade involving Elias Pettersson.
"According to multiple sources, the Vancouver Canucks and Carolina Hurricanes had discussions about Elias Pettersson that advanced to a stage where both the Canucks and the player needed to make serious decisions about where their relationship was headed," Friedman wrote.
Last Saturday, Friedman reported that teams had been calling Vancouver regarding Pettersson's availability due to the lack of contract negotiations.
Just last night, Frank Seravalli reported that there had been significant progress regarding an extension for Pettersson with the Canucks.
Friedman backed up this report by saying, "No extension is complete at this time, but there certainly is momentum in that direction, as Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli reported Wednesday. Should it be completed, it will allow the Canucks a very clear picture of their future cap situation heading into next week's trade deadline."
