Faith in Benning 2020 Ottawa Colorado Chicago Edmonton Calgary Trades

Team: 2019-20 Vancouver Canucks

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 29, 2019

Published: Jul. 29, 2019

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

This is what I think the team would/should look like at the end of the 2019/2020 season. These are the type of moves I want Benning to make. Utilize the cap space with BC born Seabrook, get assets. Trade all the overpaid players. Yes, it would cost giving up picks, that hurts, but it’s worth it to speed up the rebuild. This also allows Canucks ample cap space to give Hughes and Pettersson big contracts the year after, especially with Edler taking a discount/retiring. I have also assumed the cap goes up by $1.5M in 2020. And should go up by another million or two when Petey and Hughes sign. The Markstrom trade, would make Demko the starter and saves us from losing him in the expansion draft. The future is now, it’s Demko time! Also, Tim Schaller and Oscar Fantenberg would walk in Free Agency so they shouldn’t be there. Also two of Tryamkin, Madden, Hoglander, Lind, Woo should make the squad the season after, from training camp. Leivo/Baertschi and Benn would probably have to make way! More trades. And we can always send Seabrook to Utica if he truly falls of a cliff, which would also save a million in cap space. And make way for our young D men.
