Countdown to TradeCentre: All eyes on the Canucks

The NHL's Mar. 21 Trade Deadline is approaching and teams are making decisions on whether to buy, sell and decide which players can make the biggest difference and hold the greatest value. Check out today's trade rumours and speculation from around the NHL beat. And follow TradeCentre on TSN and TSN.ca through Deadline Day for all the updates.

There's no shortage of intrigue around what the Vancouver Canucks will do over the next month with rumours swirling around the future of forwards Brock Boeser and J.T. Miller.

Boeser, 24, is slated for restricted free agency this summer and could be looking at a significant raise over his current $5.875 million cap hit. With 15 goals and 28 points this season in 46 games this season, Boeser said Wednesday's he's tuning out the rumours leading up to March 21.

“It's not really a worry of mine," Boeser said. "I'm a big believer in saying whatever happens happens. I've said what I want to say about how much this organization means to me.”

J.T. Miller is leading the Canucks in scoring, so why is his name is coming up in trade talk amidst a playoff push? Will Brock Boeser be dealt before the NHL trade deadline? TSN's Farhan Lalji shares his thoughts.

Miller, meanwhile, is signed through next season at a cap hit of $5.25 million. The 28-year-old leads the Canucks with 18 goals and 53 points this season and head coach Bruce Boudreau restated his importance to the team on Wednesday.

“If we got (Connor) McDavid that would be ok," Boudreau said jokingly of trading Miller before turning serious. "He’s one of the cornerstones of our team and no one has talked to me about it.”

The Canucks currently sit five points back of the Edmonton Oilers for the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference
