Im really starting to warm up to the idea of re-signing NZ and trading PH.
Things PH does well w QH:
-Slings the puck across the blue line well
-Can help w skating the puck out of the zone.
-Good OZ pinches
-Defensively I like how he can attack
Honestly, these are things I think Chris Tanev could do at a comparable level. And Big Z brings some intangibles I think really helps the team overall.
If the Canucks could trade PH for another younger (but less polished defenseman) or an impact fwd I think the Canucks would be ok, maybe even improved?
