Canucks-12 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I was hoping they would save the Myers trade until at least the deadline. This would give them a cushion next year to re-sign Petey and still have cap flexibility. Or hope they don’t just use up all cap space in other long term contracts.

I know Montreal was actively shopping Desmith as soon as they acquired him. I'm not sure why they acquired a winger when they already have too many. That said several of their options are waiver exempt. This complicates their goal of being cap compliant without using off season LTIR but it's still doable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWMc1 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 That Pearson trade totally changes the cap situation. More to come I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given how we were linked to Comtois, I could see them working on something else around a bottom six forward for the PK. PA also told Bear that he needed to free up some cap space to re-sign him, so I expect that’s still in the plans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be interested to see what happens there. I like Bear As for the forward, I haven’t read anything about a specific player, but could see a trade involving one of our middle six skilled wingers for a solid PK /checking player on a lower cap hit. We could then use the difference in cap to re-sign Bear when he’s ready to play in December. On CDC I proposed Beauvillier, Karlsson and a 2023 4th (NJD) to Nashville for Yakov Trenin (and the accompanying $2.4M in cap space). Trenin is 26 and on an expiring $1.7M contract. He’d give us some size, hits and PK ability to compliment our new centers. Nashville is one of the few teams with cap, out of our division, that needs offence (6th in the league last year before trading away RJ & Duchene). Beauvillier is young enough to be resigned, or traded for a pick at the TDL to support their rebuild. The extra pick and prospect account for the cost of cap space, but still not sure Trotz would bite… They want to maintain their ‘Smashville’ identity, and have already lost a lot of physicality in the Jeannot trade. For offence, they could also just sign Kessel for free. That said, they did sign Schenn for hits, and don’t have a single forward who scored 20g in the NHL last year… That’s the best I’ve got, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely think it makes sense. It would balance our lineup a lot more. I would like our bottom 6 more with Trenins grit. Guy is on the first PK unit and he's a gamer. Bottom 6 of Podz - Suter - Garland Joshua - Blueger - Trenin Has major upside. That 4th line would a pain in the ass to play against. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you be happy if it was Seth Jones? Sure hope they aren't in the midst of making another OEL mistake lol. Seth Jones, 2 retained might be ok. Might not be too. Guessing that trade was Pearson. Canucks don't have to do anything else at this point. It's going to take time to fix this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
