EP40 the only trade that makes sense for 3OA

Description

If Van deals him (which they should) this is the only trade that makes sense for both teams. Van gets the 3OA to get a highly coveted C that will be perfect for the timeframe of when Van is going to be in contention. They also get some depth on defense that has been a huge hole on this team. Roslovic holds a roster spot and could be very beneficial to a rebuilding team.

The Jackets get their 1C and now prepare to make their way into contention.

As for Van, they need to rebuild. I don’t see EP40 re-signing. And his value is not going to be any higher than it is now and the draft is not going to be any deeper than it is now.

If you want EP40 then you have to start the package with 2 of Jiricek/3OA/Johnson

Love EP40, but I'd do this if I were VAN. Would hurt, no doubt.

Vancouver has no reason to move Pettersson, your going to have to overpay for Vancouver to even consider moving him, I don't see any world where the package isn't 3ova, Jiricek +

Ballsy offer. I think you will get a lot of no ways, but if you dig down deep inside it could be exactly what they need for the future. I personally would make the trade or something similar. It would definitely need to start with the third OA pick and I would want Jiricek. Canucks would have their top C for the future and their top RHD and immediate cap space and flexibility. You guys would be a contender now.

If I were VAN, I'd do this. EP40 is unreal, but the surrounding cast is aggressively meh. However, they would need to go full-scale rebuild in order for this trade to be allowed and we all know that would never happen.

I have not seen anything that suggests he is eager to sign an extension. The Canucks are not structured to compete for the cup as is. This is a problem. EP is about to get mega dollars and the Canucks do not have the cap structure to build around him. I think the Canucks will rue the day they don’t make this deal.

Myers Pearson and beauvile all expire next year we definitely do have the cap to work around his deal and even if we didn't there is a long list of players we are trading out the door before we trade Pettersson for cap related reasons. As per his agent they want to go long term in Vancouver https://www.google.com/amp/s/theprovince.com/sports/hockey/nhl/vancouver-canucks/canucks-elias-pettersson-agent-confident-contract-extension/wcm/fb2c3a4f-5e0a-4aec-ad05-08cc050dcd33/amp/
