Source thinks two Canadiens players would need to be included in trade to acquire Elias Pettersson as another team enters sweepstakes

It seems to be only a matter of time before Vancouver Canucks star player Elias Pettersson is traded. After the major deal announced Friday involving Mikko Rantanen, all signs point to Pettersson being the next star player on the move.

He is clearly an intriguing player for Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens, but at what cost?

In the latest episode of the podcast "Processus," Mathias Brunet and Simon Boisvert shared their thoughts on the matter.

According to credible information, the Canucks are reportedly asking for Dylan Cozens and Bowen Byram from the Sabres in exchange for Pettersson.

Thus, Boisvert concluded that Kent Hughes would need to offer Nick Suzuki and Kaiden Guhle to acquire Elias Pettersson.
