HughesBro

Imo that's underpaying on potential Hughes pick and overpaying on Kapanen.

Thought it might be overpay on Kapanen but just added the 2nd because idk where everyone is at on Woo, for the other what else do you think they’d add?

IMO

Vancouver is not going to sell the farm just to get Jack Hughes. and by "the farm" in this case i mean Horvat and 2 firsts. i'm sure they WANT Hughes but they don't NEED Hughes. that said, i also don't see COL NEEDING him either with Mackinnon and Jost. they may shop that pick to get some more defensemen/prospects/depth players

Fair, I think that they do want him enough to do this but I get it if you don’t think so

If Vancouver wanted Hughs bad enough, and Col got him and was shopping him, it would probably be a package of Van's 2019 1st, Tanev, Gaudette, Juolevi, probably a 2nd. No way are the Canucks giving up on Horvat and 2 consecutive 1st rounders unless the 2nd is lottery protected.

As far as Kapanen, I'd do that deal without Woo and the 2nd, but bump it up to 2x 3rds in 2019 and 2020. The Canucks (or any team) could also just offer sheet him @ 4.06 and steal him away from the Leafs for a 2nd rounder in 2020, Because there is no way the buds can afford to keep him and plug the holes they have unless he takes sub 2mil, or they can unload Nylander. I can honestly see a LOT of teams kicking the tires on Kap, scoffing at the price and then offer sheet him in the summer to force the Leafs into a no-win situation. It will probably be one of the 2nd round or later playoff teams (Boston because they love to screw the Leafs) that throws 6mil at him or whatever the max value with only a 1st as compensation is, to get him.

I also do not see Brock getting that number or term yet. I see a 1-2 year bridge deal at 5-6mil so he can knock it out of the park like what you posted after. He hasn't shown enough to get money like Kucherov yet considering he's MILES away from Kucherov still.
