What happened: Shane Wright prefers a trade to the Vancouver Canucks, Pro Hockey Rumors reports. The report follows earlier indications that Vancouver is Wright's preferred landing spot this offseason.

Why it matters: The Canucks have been engaged in trade talks with the Kraken over Wright since at least mid-July, with Postmedia previously naming Vancouver as his top choice. Vancouver has separately been fielding offers involving Brock Boeser, Elias Pettersson and Jake DeBrusk, giving both sides motivation to find a fit before training camp.

What to watch: Watch for Vancouver and Seattle to continue talks as the offseason progresses toward training camp.
