Team: 2021-22 Vancouver Canucks

Initial Creation Date: Oct. 16, 2020

Published: Oct. 16, 2020

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

If it's too late to find a taker to dump Eriksson onto this season, then VAN should strike up a deal with Seattle for them to take Loui in expansion. The Kraken's other selection options off the Canucks roster aren't that amazing. The best would probably be Holtby but there will be plenty of other solid goalie options for them to add. So adding two 2021 2nd round picks should be enticing enough to do it (double the cost of the Marc Staal dump), despite 'helping out' a new division rival.

Other roster notes;
- Petey gets the 'Eichel' deal
- Hughes takes a 3 year bridge that ends the same year Myers' deal does. His following long-term deal will make him the highest paid Canuck.
- 1 year bridge for Demko to coincide with the end of Holtby's deal.
- Ferly tries to play during the 2020/21 season, but continues to have post-concussion setbacks. He "retires" in the 2021 offseason on LTIR.
- Pearson's strong two-way play and chemistry with Horvat earns him a 4 year extension.
- Brought Edler back on a 1 year deal to help mentor the kids and solidify the blueline until they're ready. Hopefully one of Joulevi, Rathbone, Rafferty or Woo develops into a 2nd pair Dman.
- Hoglander makes the team in 2020 on the 3rd line, but quickly develops chemistry with Petey and Miller after Ferland leaves the lineup. He sticks on that line for 2021.
- This team has a ton of cap space available in 2022, even after Boeser and Demko get their raises.
