Description

I've been reading rumors about Arizona wanting to move Ekman-Larsson and that he'd only waive his NMC for Vancouver or one other team, so I thought I would take a look and see how well he fits the Canucks.

This doesn't seem a particularly good match to me. It means giving up on Toffoli, Tanev and Markstrom, and even after doing some bottom-feeding among free-agent forwards, I don't think that the bottom 6 has been improved.

The team is still clean for the expansion draft, and there is still $14.625 million coming off the books in 2021 to sign Pettersson and Hughes, but I'm not sure that this is a step in the right direction for Vancouver. (Maybe if Gaudette was replaced by another defense prospect?) What do Canucks fans think?

Yeah, it's tough to pinpoint his trade value. I just got tired of seeing Eriksson or Sutter or Baertschi included in a bunch of these constructions.

Its pretty simple. Zona is either desperate to move him and does it to save money, forget assets or they don't move him. It wont work unless hes dealt for pennies on the dollar, Vancouver cant afford him with Petey and Hughes up next year for max term and max dollars. OEL would have to have money retained or it's a step backwards for Vancouver. If the Yotes move him it wont be for much. Leverage is at zero. They need to dump OEL or Keller. They don't want to pay OEL 10.5 million in salary starting in 2021 so you see where these rumours about OEL became a reality.

This construction shows that they can sign Pettersson long-term for $9 million and Hughes intermediate-term for $6 million.

Isn’t the other team he’d waive for Boston? BOS has $14.5M under the cap with only RFAs DeBrusk and Grzelcyk to sign.
