The Vancouver Canucks look poised to make their most serious playoff run in many years this season. However, one of their star players is apparently not convinced about signing with the team long-term. <h2>Canucks Insider Gives Troubling Update On Pettersson's Future With The Team</h2> Whether or not Elias Pettersson would re-sign with the team has been a question this season. The superstar forward has had concerns with the team, including the viability of their long-term success. Now things are starting to heat up as we approach the trade deadline. NHL insider with connections to the team Rick Dhaliwal has reported that a trade may be very possible. <q>Dhaliwal on Pettersson negotiations: Canucks aren't getting any indication from Pettersson that he wants to be here long-term. There's frustration there. I have no intel he wants out. Up until now I always thought EP would re-sign but I'm not so sure now.</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/taj1944/status/1762190115458453714'> </a></blockquote></div> While the insider says he has no specific information about Pettersson wanting out, he also has not heard of him coming close to signing an extension with the team. Pettersson will become a restricted free agent at the end of next season. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/DonnieandDhali/status/1762184973254332754'> </a></blockquote></div> <h2>Elliotte Friedman Discusses Possible Pettersson Trade</h2> NHL insider Elliotte Friedman joined Dhaliwal on his show this morning to discuss Pettersson's status with the team. He noted how the team is good enough to win a Stanley Cup as soon as this season and that the forward will likely make a decision over the summer. <q>They could win the Stanley Cup here guys, I would be surprised if anything happens now.. @FriedgeHNIC on his report on the #Canucks receiving calls on Elias Pettersson, how he believes Pettersson feels about Vancouver and more.</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/DonnieandDhali/status/1762217584425119977'> </a></blockquote></div> The fact that the team is good this year certainly helps the Canucks. After all, other reporters have noted how the Swedish superstar is focused on winning. David Pagnotta cited this as a reason why he hasn't engaged in contract negotiations so far. <q>This isn't about money; Pettersson is focused on winning. That's why he shut down talks last off-season � he wanted to fully prepare for this year and help the Canucks bring a championship to Vancouver. His patience, so far, is paying off.</q> Given how good the team is this year, it would seem likely that Pettersson will re-sign over the summer. We will just have to cross that bridge when we get to it.
