The best option is to buyout OEL, but I will be SHOCKED if their owner did that. I don't even see any team trading for Myers unless the Canucks eat up to half of that salary, then what's the point? That leaves Boeser or Garland, and Boeser frees up the most without taking money back and brings back the most in return. Would you rather flip picks and just give up Garland? That's fine with me, but again, doesn't give the Canucks as much in return. Again, there are a very limited number of teams willing or able to take on a contract that helps the Canucks get cap space.

Canucks desperately need to get cap space and I think Tocchet won't want to lose Garland, and Myers is a tougher sell until the deadline IMO. OEL is a non-starter for any team in the league; they're stuck with him unless they do a buyout, which their owner will not do. In this proposed deal, Canucks only drop 8 spots, yet pick up a 2nd round pick, which they currently don't have in a great draft, and pick up $6.65M in space. They also get a RD prospect, which they need, who doesn't fit any longer in Chicago. Hawks can stay put at 19 and get their guy anyway, but would take on Boeser's overpay to help make the cap floor and make sure they get who they like at 11.
