No, give us a defenseman back.

OEL has positive value with that much retention

positive value at that cap hit, and then TOR needs to pay to accommodate for that unholy amount of retention

What if I removed the 3rd and replaced the 5th with a 3rd?

Y WOULD WE WANT HIM?

OEL is just a waste of a contract spot to me

Van ownership made the mistake of allowing Benning to keep his job for to long resulting in that horrendous trade

Brodie-Holl has worked out well enough so were good for now

Yeah right so Allvin eats $15,500,000 on OEL for the next 5 years plus surrenders a 3rd round pick for a lousy 5th and 6th round pick yeah right. And OEL still has a NMC and i doubt he's waiving it for Toronto.

To get the Canucks to pay that much retention it would cost a lot more. Highly unlikely an OEL trade with any team works because of his contract, either he stays or the Canucks buy him out and he signs elsewhere

He wouldn't add the 3rd but he would be eating <12.89m in salaries to avoid paying <21.36m. Ownership won't allow a rebuild so it makes no sense for them to want to do that.

A record level of retention is not going to have Vancouver adding the higher pick

You're going to have to pay up if you want Vancouver to retain 3 mil for the next 5 years

Why on earth would TO want him?
