We take on cap, get the worse defender and have to give up a probably equal pick (given that this draft is far deeper)

This makes absolutely no sense for the Nucks

I kinda doubt the Blues have much interest in Nylander or Broz.

I’ve seen this deal offered a bunch, what would you see? Rutta isn’t bad at all, just doesn’t fit our cap. Would be solid next to an offensive guy

Poulin?

You’re gonna have to add probably another 2nd if you want to add in Heinen and Nylander with nothing else attached and having Acciari in there. Nylander not Heinen hold any value to the Blues current state.

Kapanen, Kasperi
- isnt producing, not young enough to be a prospect, might get some more chances but isnt worth the cap
Rutta, Jan
- not the fleetest of foot, might be good as you said paired with an offencive defenceman but not what the canucks are looking for and also not as good as schenn yet still costs more
2024 3rd round pick (PIT)
- in the shallower draft

Nucks are not interested in this package, if you made it a 2nd and took our our pick we would have interest but at the value you have presented there is no interest from the canucks

Edmonton declines.

And congrats, you acquired 2 of the 7 most overrated players available this deadline.

That seems a lot more likely, but still no sure thing. But even with him, this offer is gonna get beat.

Oh well, if Bleacher Report says so... This dude has clearly never seen Barby play in his life.

They're a lot more believable that some random home on the internet.

Umm they ARE some rando on the internet. And a rando that demonstrates time and again that they haven't the foggiest clue what they're on about.
