Yes please. Give us all the cap space

I would do this faster than you can say Bedard!! Pretty crazy that just gets Chi a few mil above the cap floor.

I think they'd do it too, but unless you think Chicago really wants garland, I don't think the Canucks would care about his salary if they got off OEL and Myers. The team definitely prefers to keep garland

I might even argue that. Garland isn't really used. Coach doesn't seem to favour him. And he makes too much. I think they want him out too. Despite him being a decent enough player.

Too many wingers. Now they may have to part with one of the more consistent ones in Garland. Not ideal and hopefully they don't get fleeced if he goes.

Certainly and interesting proposition. Well done!

OEL would cost so so much more than this to move but I like the idea of CHI using the Coyotes / Datsyuk move as a way to move up the draft board.

Take out the tampa first atleast.. that OEL contract alone should cost Vancouver their first.

Colton Dach
Van's 11th OA
CHI 35th OA

for

MTL's 5th OA and Mitchkov most likely .

What MTL wants is Reinbacher or ASP which atleast 1/2 will be left available at #11.
While we dont mind keeping the pick for a shot at Will Smith its looking less likely as if Hughes will be looking at Michkov(sadly)

VAN fans will ask im sure "why doesnt VAN just trade up"
They dont have Dach plain and simple.
Without Colton i dont see MTL considering any trade outside PLD really for their 5th OA pick
They'll most likely just waste the pick taking a defensman 10 spots ahead of projections like ARZ with Soderstrom

Seems pretty bad for Chicago but we take it!

Canucks accept

As much as I like that trade, it's going to be hard to convince OEL to waive his nmc to Chicago since he wanted Vancouver

That is not enough to take OEL, let alone Myers AND sending those picks back to VAN.
