Description

imo Benning won't be able to trade Eriksson without A) giving up a 1st and/or top prospect, or B) taking on a bad contract in return which kind of negates the whole reason the Canucks are looking to trade him in the first place.

I think the best time to trade him would be before/during the 21/22 season where teams are more likely to be willing to take on that cap hit, or the Canucks could be in a more stable situation to retain a small percentage of it.

In the meantime, the team has a few above-average fringe players as well as one or two roster players that could be packaged to get rid of some of the bad but not terrible contracts. I would say that is a more long-term beneficial option than obliterating the pipeline.

All trades are up for discussion so please engage in the comments without being a tool.

Why aren’t you welling to trade a 2021 1st + Eriksson to LA ? The 2021 draft isn’t a good draft and make the 1st top3 protected

Don't see Cernak signing that to be fair.

21 draft is chock-full of defenders that could be very very good and Canucks need defense prospects desperately

Bad contract for bad contract between Canadian teams; like Neal for Lucic...but this time Alzner for Erikson.
