Elias Pettersson is Still Mulling his Vancouver Future, Patrick Kane returned to Chicago and Valeri Nichushkin is nearing a return!

On today's Western Conference Tuesday edition of Locked on NHL, Seth Toupal and Nick Morgan discuss the ongoing extension dilemma for Elias Pettersson and the Vancouver Canucks. We discuss the latest rumblings that Pettersson still isn't sure about signing a long term extension to stay in Vancouver. We look at the options the Canucks still have, including taking Pettersson to arbitration like the Wild did with Kevin Fiala. It is unfortunate that this is all making waves with the Canucks leading the Western Conference in points. We move to Patrick Kane's return to Chicago on Chris Chelios night. Seth and Nick discuss Kane still looking weird in a Red Wings jersey, but also note how good it was to see a rousing ovation for Kane even as he scored the overtime winner to beat the Blackhawks. Seth and Nick finish by discussing the impending return of Valeri Nichushkin from the Player's Assistance Program. Seth states that this may be the most impactful move made in the West before the trade deadline.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Ibotta - Indeed Right now, Ibotta is offering our listeners $5 just for trying Ibotta by using the code LOCKEDONNHL when you register.
