Drury says keep dreaming Canuck fans

I like that PIT trade but I don't know if they'd be that interested in Rathbone since they're trying for one last run.

OTT is a good partner for a Boeser trade, but I'm not sure how to rate JBD. Sens fans will obviously say he's great but I haven't looked at him enough. Formenton would be great if he was a C, but I would see if a different piece could be included instead.

I agree with moving out Dickinson, but we'll probably have to take back a contract too.

Rather keep Dickinson for another season
Paid a 3rd for him

Dickinson isn't going anywhere unless the Canucks are getting minimum a 3rd round pick in return

I honestly don't understand the hate for Poolman. Yes, the previous regime overpaid a little bit to acquire him, but Pools has been a nice steady 3rd pair defenseman for them who doesn't make too many mistakes, so his contract doesn't look like much of an overpayment if at all considering RHD are in such high demand in today's market. Vancouver isn't paying to get rid of him

A Boeser trade to Ottawa will require Pinto coming back

I'd take a 3rd straight up if we can get it. If not I still think it would be worth it to move him; we need a stronger 3C, which is the role he was brought in to fill. I don't really care if we "lose" value since that was an acquisition from the previous management group.



Pinto would be perfect. Maybe JBD and Pinto together would be too much though.

I would hold firm to not dealing Dickinson for less than a 3rd, Vancouver can't afford to make any desperate trades, this franchise can't afford to "lose" anymore value, the previous regime already lost them more than enough and all they did was put their hands up and say uncle. Yes, he was miscast as a center and functions better as a winger, but I don't know how you find a better 3C without giving up a high draft pick/prospect or something

the penguins are not in the market for another LD

Besides, the Canucks value Rathbone more than they do Kapanen
