I mean it's not bad tbh, just don't see Ullmark coming back to Buffalo or a Murray trade really happening
Other than that Mayfield would be a solid add for a second pairing and Rousek as an extra forward would be pretty sick too

Canucks pass,were looking for a top 4 rd. Or a third line center. Not a fit.IMHO.

Canucks should definitely take that. We get a 1st for Boeser which is already probably over market value, but we also get a 3rd and Jokiharju who we can either keep or flip for another pick (probably a 3rd). We're getting a 1st + 3rd + 3rd for Boeser when his value shouldn't be more than a 2nd.
