It’s not a bad plan to grab Catton at #10, however, I doubt he makes it passed Montreal, and definitely not passed Utah.

Artem Shlaine will likely go unsigned before his rights expire, so he will become UFA in three months. Great puck skills but the skating is probably not up to par for NHL deal.

(Truscott is also headed for free agency)

Devils have plenty of young goalies, if we trade Holtz, it will likely go towards proven veteran.

You're not getting Silovs for anything less than an overpay, something like Mercer.

Canucks pass management still believes in Podkolzin, don't think they are keen on moving him, no interest in moving Silovs either, you need good goalie depth in todays NHL and Silovs provides just that for a cheap deal.

Remind me what was the cost last time a back up took a team on good playoff run and was traded right after?
I mean i couldnt believe it when NJD gave up that pick for Schneider, in hindsight it still blows my mind.
That said given its VAN again involved i doubt the reference or its context is lost on them

NJD needs a goalie more then VAN needs to trade one.
Like Ullmark/Swayman debate of last year there's no need to move 1 for the other to succeed
VAN can wait until after Markstroms moved and gain leverage in the market if they wanted to make a deal.
But selling low for a player they dont need doesnt make sense.

VAN is a good team who needs to tighten up D a little but mostly Miller no showing after game 2 of the EDM series is why they lost.
He played 27 minutes that final game where VAN had just 15 shots i believe. They were shutting him down easily
They needed to go with their depth playing great minutes to spread their good checkers thin and over work them. Hard to keep up if they got tired legs trying to cover 4 lines the same instead of just 1

If anything i'd say VAN if they did a deal for Necas that Miller would have to be involved as would NJD 1st round pick this year in a package for it to benefit VAN and build on its run this year.
That said i think leveraging Miller in a Kotkaniemi deal to get Necas cheaper makes more sense and gives CAR an Heir to Andersons throne who can help eat up games for him so he's healthier when games count more. It would give CAR the punching power it needs now and a solid back end. All they'd have to do is re-sign a few of their D they like and they're back in the hunt as much as VAN

Deals gotta benefit both sides and make them better
If they dont then you need leverage with NJD doesnt have here as they're the ones in need

UTAH has 0 Defensman signed last i checked.
Their Owners said they want to compete today like VGK

IF Demidov goes 2nd and Lindstrom 3rd it will create a Freefall of Quality D Galore for Utah.
Levshunov who's ready now likely wont be taken over Iginla, Catton or Eiserman as CBJ has Defense galore and needs Forwards same as MTL

If Levshunov goes top 3 with any other D going top 5 then Catton could fall to 10th
We're talking ANA and CHI both choosing D which isnt even unlikely its just hard to see teams passing up on Demidov or Lindstrom
Then you consider Demidovs KHL Contract which is always an issue effecting Draft positioning and Lindstrom being injured most of his Draft year like Galchenyuk was.
Its very possible if 5 D go in the top 10 which is likely given so many NCAA Players, Memorial Cup players , WJC players,ext on the Blueline finished or are finishing strong.
Buium wasnt even top 10 to start the year but is being talked about top 5 after breaking Lane Hutsons NCAA record he set last year. Buium did it while winning the championship no less.
Dickinsons a 17 year old averaging 25+ minutes in a Memorial cup and playing a dominant role as a big blue liner who's the most Versatile top 4 D prospect in this draft.
Levshunov finished his first year in NCAA after leaving Russia and did so as a top 10 NCAA Dman as the 6'2 209lbs Dman
He's done so while playing a complete game at both ends of the ice taking him from a top 10 option to start the year to a top 5 must in virtually every ranking.

Doesnt stop there either
We got Lefty's and Righty's all top 4 guys
You also got Yakemchuk and Parekh guys who will grow into a 2nd pair role from bottom pair and Special teams plays.
Yakemchuk lays those Alexi Emelin level Predatory Grey Area but Technically Legal hits and will take time to mold into a top 4 regular as he needs to gain mass to play his style at the NHL level.
Parekh is a Special Teams star who plays solid on PK and PP with the same need for mass to transition his style of game to a top 4 role.

Lots of guys this year but this is the most stacked draft of quality D ive seen since the 2003 draft

Someone will fall to NJD at 10, and people will be surprised with them falling. Too much randomness in this draft.

Silvos is an unproven 24 year old who’s besides the few playoff games has shown no potential at the nhl level

I’m not sure that I’m reading this right, but are you suggesting the Canucks trade Miller + Silovs for Necas + KK? But then you also mention the NJ 1st?

Canucks are not moving Miller at all. He is a 100 point Center and even though he struggled a bit offensively towards the end of the Edmonton series he also did a great job defending McDavid the whole series. Zero chance the Canucks move him, especially to take on KK’s awful contract

Maybe I’m reading it wrong/misunderstanding it though
