The Vancouver Canucks are navigating a season filled with trade rumors and the challenges of a potential rebuild, but they recently snapped an 11-game losing streak with a 4-3 victory over the Washington Capitals.

Brock Boeser

Brock Boeser contributed a goal and an assist in the win against the Capitals. This performance marked his second multi-point game in January. Over 11 games this month, Boeser has tallied two goals and five assists while maintaining a consistent presence on the second line. Overall this season, Boeser has 11 goals and 24 points in 48 games.

However, Boeser's name has also been mentioned in trade discussions. Some analysts suspect his contract extension is "aging poorly" and that he might have crossed into "negative value" territory. Despite this, there remains a possibility that a team seeking goal-scoring may take a chance on him based on his past performance.

Kevin Lankinen

Kevin Lankinen secured the win against Washington, stopping 29 of 32 shots. He allowed two power-play goals early in the game but only conceded one goal for the remainder of the match, ending a personal six-game winless streak. Over that losing streak, Lankinen had allowed 19 goals on 173 shots, resulting in a .890 save percentage.

Some have suggested that Lankinen could be a trade option for the Canucks, particularly given the goalie pipeline, although his full no-movement clause limits the Canucks' ability to exploit this.

Drew O’Connor

Drew O'Connor scored a goal in the recent game against the Capitals. He scored on a one-timer from the bottom of the left circle off a behind-the-back pass from David Kampf.

Filip Hronek

Filip Hronek also scored in the win against Washington. Hronek tipped in a pass from Jake DeBrusk during a 2-on-1 rush. Hronek now has four goals and 29 points in 50 appearances this season.

Hronek is considered one of the Canucks' best value assets, given his status as a right-shot, top-pairing defenseman with a contract extending to 2032. Some believe that Hronek's impact on the locker room is being underestimated. Were the Canucks to put Hronek on the trade block, the return would be immense.

Canucks' Potential Rebuild and Other Trade Rumors

The Canucks have already traded Quinn Hughes and Kiefer Sherwood. With the NHL trade deadline approaching on March 6, there is a sense of urgency as the Olympic roster freeze on February 4 nears. Several other Canucks players have been mentioned in trade rumors. Nick Kypreos suggests that Evander Kane and Teddy Blueger are likely trade candidates. Frank Seravalli has reported suspicion that a Pettersson trade could happen soon, potentially before the Olympics. J.P. Barry, Elias Pettersson's agent, is unhappy with the trade chatter. Other names that have come up in trade discussions include Jake DeBrusk and Conor Garland.
