NHL Rumor Mill – August 11, 2026

Elias Pettersson practiced in Los Angeles due to his wife's connection to the city, not as part of a trade rumor with the Los Angeles Kings. Canucks center Pettersson has six years remaining on his contract with an average annual value of $11.6 million, and no trade has progressed beyond initial speculation. Pettersson will likely start and finish the season with the Canucks unless there is a significant change in his circumstances.
