## Resource

Elias Pettersson’s big contract might not be his biggest story anymore—insider Thomas Drance says Marco Rossi is already being viewed as Vancouver’s top center for 2026-27, with real chemistry forming with Brock Boeser and potential for Jake DeBrusk on the wing. Rossi, on a bridge deal with two years left, is primed for big ice time and stats, giving him leverage as an arbitration-eligible restricted free agent. His breakout after returning from injury last season—20 points in 25 games, leading the power play—signals he’s ready to be a franchise cornerstone. Drance sees two paths: trade him at peak value in 2027 or lock him down long-term to anchor the rebuild. With Rossi turning 27 before his next contract, the Canucks face a pivotal decision: let him shine now or plan for the future.
