The Canucks trade might have worked a 4-5 years ago when this team was still competitive. Right now it needs picks and prospects more than anything. The seventh overall pick is a great start, almost guaranteeing them a solid, future NHLer, and as another commenter mentioned above, Jake Virtanen has come along way, and I truly believe that he can at the very least be a solid 3rd-line contributor. Just look at Bret Connolly for Washington. The guy has been unreal these playoffs. If Virtanen plays like that during a playoff stretch he's golden.
