The Vancouver Canucks are squarely in the middle of a rebuild.

But as July arrives and NHL free agency opens, they’ve got a lot of possibilities. They already made a trade for Brendan Gallagher, so it’s clear they wouldn’t mind some veteran presence on their roster, too.

All eyes will be on Elias Pettersson, as well, an obvious trade candidate if the Canucks can find a taker for his big contract.

This offseason won’t define the entire future of Vancouver, but it’s important for the Canucks to get things pointing in the right direction.

Below, we’ll be keeping track of the moves they make as they happen.
