The Carolina Hurricanes, Detroit Red Wings and Los Angeles Kings could be interested in Pettersson. The Canucks would need a center to come back in a package. They now need someone who can play there if they move Pettersson. Could be Jesperi Kotkaniemi be a placeholder for the time being?
DeBrusk has five years left on his contract with a $5.5 million cap hit and could play anywhere in the top nine.

Has the time come for Mika Zibanejad to wonder about his future with the New York Rangers?
The magazine with Jeff Marek: Vince Z. Cogliano wonders if New York Rangers will emerge Mika Zibanejad will reach the point where he is okay with a change of scenery.
“At 33, does Mika look around and say, ‘You know what, winning is important to me at this stage of my career, and if I go somewhere else I’ll have a better opportunity to do that?’
I wouldn’t be shocked. I’ll just say that. I didn’t ask Mika this direct question, so I don’t want to speak for him at this point, but that’s a man I could see making it this far. Is the way I would say it.
And he’s having a much better season. A lot of guys on this team are having bad seasons right now, but it was a really tough season for him last year. He plays quite well. He’s one of the few guys I would point to and say that.
NHL Rumors: Florida Panthers and Calgary Flames
So I think the value for him has probably increased a little bit with the season he’s having now as well. So I wonder if that’s a path the Rangers are trying to take. Probably not now, but more likely in the summer.”
