Trades with under-performers

Team: 2018-19 Vancouver Canucks

Initial Creation Date: Nov. 20, 2018

Published: Nov. 21, 2018

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Most of the acquired players need a change of scenery and are not playing well currently. In the Boston trade, Boston rids itself of the Backes contract and while they take on Roussel's and Schaller's they still save 3 million and replace Bjork and Heinen, who are struggling. The player benefit is in Vancouver's favour, but the saved cap space makes this one even.
St. Louis rids itself of Bouwmeester's contract and loses a struggling Schmaltz. Pouliot trumps Bouwmeester and Schmaltz tops Biega, but the saved cap space again tilts this to even and probably in favour of St. Louis.
Anaheim saves minorly in cap space by losing Cogliano but gains Del Zotto who helps bring stability to the D while Fowler and Lindholm are injured. The saved cap space again helps Anaheim bring the trade to even.
Pittsburgh trades Maata, a struggling Sprong, and a cap dump in Sheahan, who is playing terribly. They gain a top 4 RHD in Tanev which they terribly need, a solid bottom six utility man and penalty killer in Granlund, and a replacement for Sheahan in Motte. This one probably tips in the Pen's favour so Gadjovich could be taken out.
Vegas gets a good 4C and a depth player while losing Nosek and Carpenter who are doing awful this year. This trade is even as Vegas really doesn't lose anyone and the gain of Beagle cancels out his cap hit.
LA continues to shake things up by losing two underperforming players and gaining a cap dump who can equal Clifford's play, and Bjork who can equal Lewis but is way younger. The cap is even but the plus of Bjork and minus of Gagner evens out.
Arizona loses Archibald,a cap dump, and Cousins and gain two fourth line players. This is a better trade for nobody as there are no good pieces involved.
Minnesota loses Niederreiter but gaines Baer as a replacement and a fourth liner plus a low end prospect. This opens up cap space for Minnesota who probably win the trade.
I know that this is crazy, but I think this would be awesome for Vancouver and most of the teams benefit from the trades. Draft picks were not included in the trades but could be if either team isn't satisfied.
