Canucks trade Nils Höglander to Predators for a 2029 third-round pick

The Vancouver Canucks trade forward Nils Höglander to the Nashville Predators in exchange for a 2029 third-round draft pick, according to multiple reports. Höglander, 25, has played his entire NHL career with Vancouver, totaling 120 points in 331 games. The move sends a winger known as an active, two-way presence to Nashville as the Predators add depth to their forward group. Nashville’s return is a draft selection in the 2029 third round, described as a relatively distant asset in the trade. The reports present the transaction as a change of scenery for Höglander and an opportunity for Nashville to incorporate him into its lineup. For Vancouver, the trade reflects a roster adjustment that moves on from a player who has spent his NHL years with the Canucks. No additional player exchanges or terms beyond the 2029 third-round pick are mentioned in the provided accounts.
