According to multiple sources, the Canucks and the Hurricanes had discussions about Elias Pettersson that reached a stage where he and VAN had to make serious decisions about the direction of their relationship.
It will be interesting to follow what will happen in Vancouver, as a player of Pettersson's caliber, who is expected to surpass the 100-point mark this year for the second consecutive season, is likely to be costly on the trade market.
However, it is intriguing to learn that something very big was negotiated between the two teams. Pagnotta also mentions that Carolina would have included much more than Necas and Kotkaniemi in this potential transaction to match Pettersson's immense value.
