Team: 2022-23 Vancouver Canucks

Initial Creation Date: Dec. 15, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

1.) Carlo for Garland is moving a local product home. Money is similar. Term is similar. Think BOS will want some additional depth for the stretch and his contract is solid for a player who historically has had solid 5v5 scoring.

2.) Dumba for Boeser is also moving a local product home. The key for VAN though is they would not retain Dumba, rather would have a deal in place with TOR to flip him in exchange for some of their expiring pieces in Holl and Kerfoot. As Dumba is a serviceable Top4 D, the rental price is a 2nd and a prospect; I picked Knies, but honestly it could be Niemela or Robertson.

3.) Holl would goto SEA for depth in exchange for 3rd round pick to aid in the playoff chase.

4.) Rathbone is stuck behind Hughes, OEL for a top4 pairing. He is a solid Dman at the AHL level but needs a new home. Think the LAK with their plethora of RHD would be a solid suitor for a 1 for 1 prospect swap. Grans has been bypassed on the depth chart and Rathbone would give them another option on the LHD side,

5.) Horvat goes to CAR. I assume he would get an extension. The exchange of Kotkaniemi helps on the money side and helps address VANs need for an NHL 20something Centre. CAR fans tell me that Morrow is out of the question, so VAN goes with a '19 3rd rounder in Honka and the prerequisite 1st round pick.
