Daniel Wagner on what the Trevor Linden trade can teach us today:

24 years ago, the trade of a 27-year-old Trevor Linden set the #Canucks up for the next decade.

It's illustrative of why they shouldn't be scared to pull the trigger on a major deal with one of their top forwards now.https://t.co/L9Bs8JXqQH

And of course, some reporting on the ongoing JT Miller situation:

According to Frank Seravalli, there are teams frothing at the mouth to get JT Miller but he thinks #canucks are either playing hard to get, or made an internal decision to keep him.
