Canucks linked to five trade targets: Allvin looking to bolster the blueline?

"Looking through various teams and some situations that could be on our radar over the next six to 12 months, a few names stand out.

First off, there's a pair of Calgary Flames right-handed defenders in Rasmus Andersson and, to a lesser extent, MacKenzie Weegar. The Flames have been dismantling their roster for months now, accumulating futures � often from the Canucks � and looking to long-term organizational planning." Drance said.

"Seattle Kraken blueliner Adam Larsson and Winnipeg Jets defender Neal Pionk are right-handed top-four types on expiring deals. If either team falls out of the race, they'd be potential rentals to monitor. Larsson is probably the better fit, but would also be the more expensive player to acquire. In contrast, Pionk struggled this past season and might come with a reclamation target price tag if his form last season persists into this year.

Finally, jumbo-sized St. Louis Blues defender Colton Parayko has been linked to trade rumours over the past 12-18 months. The Blues seem to be retooling but have so much cap space locked into their blue line, and nearly all of those blueliners have some measure of say in their future given their trade protection structure. Parayko would be an interesting fit, albeit a risky one, given his offensive impact has fallen off over the past few seasons and he's signed with term through his age-35 campaign." Drance said.
