Kraken's Ron Francis among those in attendance at Bruins/Canucks game

As the Vancouver Canucks season continues in a downward spiral, trade talks are heating up. Trade rumours surrounding forward Brock Boeser have been circulating for months now. J.T. Miller and Bo Horvat's names have aso popped up over the past week.

The Canucks were in Boston Sunday taking on the Bruins, and according to Shawn Hutcheon of The Fourth Period, Seattle Kraken general manager Ron Francis was at the game on the scout list.

"Minnesota Wild Senior Advisor to the GM Ray Shero and Seattle Kraken GM Ron Francis on tonight's scout list in Boston. #VANvsBOS", Hutcheon said.

Hutcheon's colleague David Pagnotta added that there were scouts from nine other teams in attendance at TD Garden in Boston last night.

"Lots of eyes watching tonight's Canucks/Bruins game. In addition to Shero (and a MIN scout) and Francis (and a SEA scout), there are reps on the list from TB, TOR, NYI, CHI, LA, DET, STL, OTT & FLA (Paul Fenton, Special Advisor to the GM)." Pagnotta said.

There will be plenty of speculation of who could be traded from the Canucks in order to salvage the season, but it's looking more and more likely that if any changes come, it will be to the front office.

After Sunday night, the Canucks have two games left on their road trip, in Montreal Monday night, and in Ottawa on Wednesday before returning home to host the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday night. If any changes are coming to the front office, it would probably happen on those two off-days between the game against Ottawa and the home game against Pittsburgh.
