The Blue Jackets have reportedly engaged the Canucks on Elias Pettersson trade talks with the deadline just five weeks away.

Vancouver Canucks president of hockey operations Jim Rutherford was blunt when talking about the feud between J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson. He essentially confirmed that the only solution is to trade one or both of these talented forwards.

The Canucks have concluded that there's no workable way forward with both Miller and Pettersson on the roster.
