According to reports, the Vancouver Canucks are actively pursuing unrestricted free agents, with Patrik Allvin successfully creating a cap surplus by buying out OEL.
There was speculation that the Canucks might strike a deal with hometown hero Milan Lucic, but it seems they have since backed off.
UFA Milan Lucic continues to talk with teams.
The Canucks are no longer in the mix.
