Teodors Bļugers, the Latvian forward in the National Hockey League (NHL), has not seen a change in his trade value on the market despite recent performances. After an injury kept him off the ice for an extended period, Bļugers made a significant return in late January, showing his skills with notable results. During his first eight games back, playing for the Vancouver Canucks, he achieved seven points (four goals and three assists), showcasing that he has reclaimed his form after recovery.

Currently, the Vancouver Canucks, who stand as the weakest team in the NHL, are undergoing a roster restructure and are expected to trade Bļugers to another club ahead of the March 6 trade deadline. This could provide Bļugers with a new opportunity on a more competitive team. Various teams eyeing deep playoff runs have had their attention on Bļugers even before the 2026 Winter Olympics began, indicating that his skills are still valued, despite the changing dynamics of his current team.

Ultimately, the upcoming trade period could be crucial for Bļugers as he aims to move beyond the Canucks' struggles and make a mark in the NHL again. His performance in the lead-up to the Olympics has kept him in the spotlight, but securing a trade could enhance his chances of successfully competing and making an impact in the league moving forward.
