In my opinion, Rickard Rakell is not the solution for the Canucks.

Rather just keep Saad.

The Vancouver trades definitely don’t unless you’re sending draft picks or extra value as well for taking on the extra money or term compared to Mikheyev or Garland.

The NSH deal is my favourite as I like Barrie and Glass, but it doesn't fill the teams needs. Barrie would be useless when we already have Karlsson and Letang as OFD.

Don’t think the Canucks would want Rakell, but they may consider something involving Mikheyev for Smith
