Pending free agent forward Pius Suter is unlikely to sign a new deal with the Vancouver Canucks. He is reportedly on the top of the list of players likely to be traded.

According to Adam Kierszenblat of The Hockey News, the Canucks and the Dallas Stars are working on a deal for Suter. A trade could be finalized after the end of the Stars' game against the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday.

"Sources have indicated that the #Canucks and #TexasHockey are working on a deal for Pius Suter. Dallas is currently playing New Jersey so a trade might be finalized once that game is done," Kierszenblat reported on X.
