Vancouver Canucks eye roster rebuild through trades

The Vancouver Canucks are shifting toward a rebuilding phase following a slow start to the season, with a record of 3-10-1. General Manager Ryan Johnson is reportedly open to trading several veteran players to acquire younger, NHL-proven talent.

Potential trade candidates include Jake DeBrusk, a 30-year-old winger with a $5.5 million cap hit and a full no-movement clause, and Drew O'Connor, a 28-year-old power forward on an expiring contract. Filip Chytil is also mentioned as a possible candidate despite recent struggles with recurring injuries.

In pursuit of younger assets, the Canucks have expressed interest in Washington Capitals winger Ivan Miroshnichenko. The 22-year-old former first-round pick is reportedly available for trade, with several other NHL teams also showing interest.
