The Seattle Kraken might be ready to part ways with Jared McCann, and his old team in Vancouver is paying close attention.
McCann, who the Canucks picked in the first round back in 2014, could be exactly what Vancouver needs right now – especially after sending J.T. Miller to the Rangers two weeks ago.
The timing couldn’t be better for the Canucks, who’ve been desperately searching for someone to anchor their second line at center.
According to Sportsnet’s Jacob Stoller, McCann’s name is definitely out there on the trade market. What makes him particularly interesting for Vancouver is his flexibility – he’s comfortable playing center when needed.
It’s a bit of a full-circle moment for McCann, who started his NHL journey with the Canucks nearly a decade ago. Now he might be the answer to their current roster puzzle.
The Canucks have just a few weeks to make their move before the March 7 trade deadline. With GM Patrik Allvin actively looking to strengthen the team’s center depth, bringing McCann back to Vancouver could make a lot of sense.
