Elias Pettersson scored 14 points this month. The last time he did that was exactly a year ago in November 2024.
The last time he scored more than 14 points in a calendar month? January 2024, right before his play fell off a cliff.
That's some encouraging progress.

Quinn Hughes led NHL with 27:49 of ice time per game in November across 12 contests.
That's nearly a full minute more than the second-place Zach Werenski (26:54).
The #Canucks captain has a massive workload this year, plus the condensed schedule and Olympics.

Would you trade Quinn Hughes for Nemec, Mercer, a 2026 first-round pick, and a 2027 first-round pick?
What about for Tippett, York, Nesbitt, and a 2026 first-round Pick?
I go through these trade proposals (and 2 more) in my latest post:

The #Canucks might be forced to trade Quinn Hughes. If it gets to that point, what does the deal look like?
Is he only going to the Devils? Could a reunion with Tocchet in Philadelphia make sense?
I came up with four hypothetical Hughes trades.

Filip Hronek's strong play is flying under the radar this season.
#Canucks have outscored opponents 19-10 during his 5-on-5 minutes this year.
Hronek has also played at least 80 5vs5 mins with three different Nucks defencemen as the team has struggled with injuries.

Team Canada has some difficult decisions to make before the Olympics.
Do they take all three of Bedard, Celebrini, and Schafer?
Do you bring the struggling Sam Bennett?

Jim Rutherford and Patrik Allvin are never scared to make a move. They've made 33 trades while leading the #Canucks.
I reviewed every deal and gave them each a letter grade.

So I decided to look back on all 33 trades they've made while in charge and grade them.
Which did they get right? Which did they get wrong?

I'm getting tired of Rutherford and Allvin bringing up the Miller situation in every interview as an excuse for where the #Canucks are at.
You were partially responsible! Not as much as the players involved, but you played a role!

Jim Rutherford says it would take something "extreme" for #Canucks to trade Willander, DPetey, Cootes, or Lekkerimäki.
Also says if they were to trade one of those players, they'd want someone under 25 in return.
