The Predators, Capitals, Blue Jackets and other Eastern teams are said to be involved. The Canucks are looking to finalize the trade quickly, but salary is a key issue. The Canadiens could be a third team, due to Kirby Dach's injury. Kent Hughes could get a prospect or draft pick by withholding part of Garland's salary.
