Thread: VGK make room for Hanifin Leafs rebuilding the D corps
This is REALLY bad for Toronto...

If you are Toronto, you are getting AT BEST a 4th defender. But realistically he should be a VERY GOOD bottom pairing guy, or an average to below average middle pairing guy. His numbers are lackluster.

And what you are giving up...
a young RHD with top 4 upside, looked very comfortable this year in a larger role. Like his numbers are better than Whitecloud... he's younger...
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE.
<strong><em>ANOTHER </em></strong> RHD with top 4 upside, Topi has been looking great in the Marlies. Kids only 22, there is a reason why he was the asked for a lot of rentals to toronto the last 2 seasons.
We should get Billy Mays in.. Cuz we're not done yet!
A middle 6 guy, who has not looked out of place in the top 6 on the STACKED leafs...

So you're essentially suggesting a barely second pairing guy is equal to a top prospect, a young RHD who is seemingly growing into his own, and a middle 6 forward(one of which doesn't look out of place in the top 6)


Did you forget more assets from Vegas' side?

Thread: Jake 20
Add some notes here, Mikheyev is there to free up space to resign Guentzel. Which is also why the 2nd is in there, kind of a payment for taking on his contract. He's still a full serviced winger and would do decently in Pittsburgh, not fully a cap dump.

The "prospect" could really be any of the 20-23 year olds, besides the remaining 2 untouchables. Canucks see this roster has a window until 2026, when Huggy and Demmer are up. While I don't think we'll lose them to UFA, locking them up long term will cost some bag. So while we have the ability to compete "cheaply" in the next 3 years do it. Guentzel would be a great fit with Miller and Boeser I think. Leaving EP40 to do his thing on his own line like he has all season.

So essentially look at the trade like this:

Canucks acquire a top 6 winger, who potentially could resign and be here for a 3 year window to compete for a Stanley Cup. As well as freeing up 4.75m in cap space. For 2 early, but next seasons picks, and a player who has not cracked our lineup yet. And likely needs a change.
