The answer is similar to why Hronek will get 8M plus on his next long term contract; because he's a RHD that can play in your top 3. He's a unicorn in the NHL right now. Look at the UFA market over the next few years and count how many top pairing RHD are due to become available. It's a really short list.

Mikheyev is still a very good player. He just needs a full off season of training to recover from the knee surgery.

I like the trades, as long as you are extending Guentzel.
If you try to put Aman in the minors, he won't clear, so I'm not big on that. He can get you a draft pick through trade, I would think. But I'd rather keep him and try to push PDG through waivers.
The line combos are very interesting. Not what I would go with right away, but interesting.

I think you're missing the mark. Bunting is more of a greasier player than Mikheyev, which makes a better immediate fit for the Canucks' top 6. Mikheyev is still recovering from his knee surgery, he'll be better after a full offseason of regular training. In fact, Mikheyev is the better player, and fits in Carolina's system better than Bunting.
The Canes would take a bag of pucks for DeAngelo at this point.

Scheduling Rant
I grew up in the 80's, the glory days of divisional rivalries, when divisions only had 5 or 6 teams and teams played each team in their division 7 or 8 times a year. The size of the divisions combined with the divisional playoff format significantly increased the frequency with which teams met in the playoffs. So in the 80's, teams that had already played each other 8 times were meeting 3 or 4 times over 5 or 6 years. Familiarity bred contempt, and we ended up with the best rivalry decade of hockey in the expansion era; instead of getting one or two Colorado/Detroit of Vancouver/Chicago series every year, we got 7or 8 in the first round alone.
Here we are in 2024. I'm 50 years old, and thanks to Bettman abandoning the divisional rivalries, we haven't seen the Canucks and Oilers meet in the playoffs, who are each one of each other's closest regional rivals, since my graduating year of high school. We have divisions that are too big, and a schedule that puts almost as much weight on cross conference play as it does on regional rivals. The last time the Canucks and Oilers met this season, back in November, it was their 3rd meeting in about 5 weeks. Things got so intense, that at one point, McDavid, Draisaitl and Hyman were all crammed in the penalty box at the same time. And then the schedule makers decided to put about 60 games between the Canucks and the Oilers to cool things off; they don't meet again until game 80. We are less than three weeks out from the trade deadline, and the Canucks and Kings haven't played each other once. We finally get Seattle in the league, and when the Canucks and Kraken meet, it has all the emotional appeal of a gathering of third cousins.
Regular season play has become so sterile, we're left with Canucks Twitter trying to drum up intensity with the Wings because some bottom pairing defenseman danced a jig after scoring what will probably be the biggest goal of his career.
The league is getting a tonne of interest from markets looking for expansion teams. Salt Lake City, Quebec City, Houston and Atlanta will all likely have teams by the end of the decade. And with this expansion, the league will have no choice but to reduce the size of the divisions, and once again realign it's playoff format. Until then, there are tweaks to the schedule and playoff format that can help put some much needed energy back into divisional play.
First, abandon the idea that every team has to play in every city each season, and there is a recent example to support this. The Penguins played in Chicago this last week. It was Crosby's only visit to Chicago this season, and marked Bedard's return from injury. This is an original six market with two of the game's biggest stars sharing the same sheet of ice, and the building was just over halfway full. Why? Because the Hawks aren't winning right now. Even in the league's most robust markets, it's winning that sells tickets above all else, including the draw of star players. We're in the digital age. If I want to watch every game Connor McDavid plays, I can do it from the comfort of my own home, and I don't even live in Alberta. Should the league be so focused on the 20,000 fans in the building, or rather on the hundreds of thousands of fans potentially streaming the game on their laptops and cell phones?
Play every team in your own division 6 times, for 42 games. Play each remaining team in your conference 3 times, for 24 games. That leaves 16 games. Play each team in the opposing conference once.
Second, abandon the Wild Card and just have the top 4 teams in each division make the playoffs. One plays four, two plays three. Yes, there is an entire generation of fans that grew up with the conference playoff format, 1 vs 8 etc., that want the league to return to that format. At any given time during the year, if you look at the standings and set the playoff matchups using the conference seeding, and then compare it to how the matchups would look with the current format, you realize that there is virtually no difference. Usually at least 6 of 8 matchups are the same either way.
Maybe I'm a dinosaur, a waning fan on the verge of old age just pining away for an era that is gone forever. I'm certainly not representative of the demographic that the NHL is selling the game to these days. But for those of you who grew up after the 1980s teams had run their course, you really missed something special. To most of those who saw it, the 1994 Stanley Final was one of the greatest Finals ever played. There was an emotion that went beyond two franchises and cities that were desperate to lift that Cup of Cups, and if you saw Coach's Corner prior to game one, you probably understand why. Grapes showed footage of the second regular season meeting between the Canucks and Rangers that year, and they included scenes such as Sergio Momesso literally trying to cut Glenn Anderson in half with his stick. That Rangers team was comprised almost entirely of ex Oilers. Guys the players on the Canucks were very familiar with because they had played them 8 times a year for half a decade, and had already lost that playoff series to, back in my graduation year of '92.
If you're truly looking to bring more meaning back to the regular schedule, forget about these Frankensteinish in season tournaments, and bring back the division rivalries. Get the emotion back into the Islanders/Rangers, Flyers/Penguins, Habs/Bruins and Flames/Oilers. Sport is tribal. Embrace it.

Brother, the Canucks have zero interest in TVR. ZERO. Primary want right now is a top 6 forward. If they add to the blueline, it will be a depth add; league minimum rental with no term UNLESS they end up having to move Myers to clear cap space. But they really don't want to do that.
There isn't much on the Caps' NHL roster they'd have interest in. Wilson, Mantha maybe. If they move Kuzmenko to Washington, I think it's much more likely they take a pick or two, maybe a prospect, and flip the assets to someone else for what they're looking for.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>imawesome</b></div><div>Hughes didn't sign for 8 years and when he signed the cap was lower</div></div>
Agreed. Hughes deal won't factor, it's up in 2 years anyways, and then he'll get his giant bag.
I think you're looking at 8.5 per for Hronek. Comp is Sergachev, IMO, maybe a bit less term. I've been hearing the argument on local radio that they shouldn't pay Hronek because he's playing with Hughes, and compared this year to what Hughes did for Schenn last year, which is a joke, because it discounts Hronek's skill level. Sure, Hughes makes him better, but it's working both ways. (That said, I think the team would be better defensively if they put Hronek with Soucy and put either Juulsen or Cole with Hughes).
11.5 per sounds about right for Petey, unless he goes off in the New Year and gets himself back in the Art Ross conversation.
To quote Burnaby Joe, "if you want to be a great team, you have to have great players". And great players get paid.

How realistic is buying
As long as they remain in the top 6 or 8 in the league, I see no reason why management won't stay aggressive. Mikheyev and Hoglander are borderline top 6 wingers as it is, and with Kuzmenko having a hard time staying out of Tocchet's dog house, I'd expect the next big piece to a top 6 winger. I think Guentzel is more likely to be a summer target, and I still believe that Necas is at or near the top of their wish list.
Any add on the blueline now would be strictly a depth add.
Now having said all of that, I think it's important to note that Rutherford did voice his concerns about messing with the chemistry of the current group. But. I still expect them to be aggressive if they are in contention. The window only stays open for so long.
Oh, and y'all can take that PDO and stick it somewhere soft and squishy.

Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Vancity2196</b></div><div>Trades 1 and 3 decline.
Guentzel doesn’t want to leave Pittsburgh and he didn’t ask for a trade, and Pittsburgh doesn’t want too many wingers in their roster.
Giving away couple of prospect players for Ramus Andersson is awful and terrible idea.
I like the second trade.</div></div>
Word is the stumbling block on a Guentzel extension is term, and it's looking most likely that he'll go to free agency. It may to see the Pens letting him go, given his relationship with Crosby, but he's going to be 30, and there will be teams out there offering him 5 or 6 years at 8 million per. You can't expect him to turn that down, and it just doesn't make sense for the Pens to extend him past Crosby's deal.
Getting Kuzmenko for Guentzel makes a lot of sense for the Pens, the term and the dollars work, and Kuz did get 39 goals and 74 points last year; he has the skill to play to in the Pens top 6.
But I can't see the Canucks giving up Kuzmenko <em>and</em> that much in futures for a player they can target in free agency in a few months. Even if you drop the 2nd round pick from the deal, you're probably overpaying.

A team would almost get Myers for zero cash dollars, as most of his contract has been paid out. If the Canucks retained 50% on his AAV, they could trade Myers with a 30 second phone call as soon as the roster freeze lifted.
But as they long as they are contending, I don't believe they have any interest in moving him, anyways.

He has the skill to play with Bedard. He's entertaining, can help keep things light in the dressing room. The Hawks don't have to worry about his play away from the puck or how he would perform in the playoffs right now. He's only under contract for one more year, and he's a guy they could flip at next year's deadline for a good return.
