Russo the Wild reporter on the Athletic mentioned it and there is a HF thread discussing that Pettersson is not happy and may not want to stay with the Canucks.
The Flames might be the last team in the league Vancouver would want to trade their 24 year old top center on pace for 106pts. The rivalry being one reason, the free agent poaching another, and the whole gifting us Tkachuk and Andersson the third.
