<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Prime_Jimbo</b></div><div>I like the first deal. Adding two other 4th line/13th forwards makes no sense. Especially, for good prospects.</div></div>

I don't. Wennberg has fewer points than Mikheyev in more games played, and a lot more ice time. I get that Mikheyev has often played with Pettersson, but Canucks fans have actually complained about how Pettersson hasn't actively taken over games enough this season, so we can't also say he's mega carried Mikheyev, who is just scoring at a solid middle 6 rate anyway.

Mikheyev is also at least good defensively, and useful on the PK. Wennberg is terrible defensively, and doesn't make up for it with enough offence. I'd rather have a player who is good defensively and can get carried to being competent offensively. It's a lot harder to try to cover for a defensive liability who only scores 40 points. It's why Boudreau was benching Hoglander when he was struggling to score, but playing irresponsible hockey. Wennberg is technically a centre, but he's terrible at face-offs, so he doesn't even add value there

Thread: Looking at Guentzel trade if we cant get a scorer plus acquiring 2 D men
If the Canucks trade for Guentzel, it's either going to be for his expiring contract with retained salary and then they try to re-sign him themselves, or the Penguins would need to take Kuzmenko back to make the salaries work. The Canucks don't have enough cap to take on Guentzel at full cost anymore because they played the "we have cap space" card to get Zadorov for seemingly low cost.

However, Kuzmenko also has another year on his contract, and he's supposed to be a scoring forward. I could maybe see 2024 first round pick + prospect + Kuzmenko for Guentzel as a UFA, and then the Canucks sign him themselves. Once the deadline passes, the Canucks will become the team allowed to offer Guentzel 8 years on a new contract

Thread: Keep it Simple OR Take a Risk
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JuanDamienNebraska</b></div><div>Beauvillier would surely get claimed. I know he makes north of 4 million, but someone would take him.</div></div>

That's fine, getting cap space back is what the Canucks want in the first place. If they have to retain 50% and still only get a mid round pick, that's arguably worse than getting all the cap space back, especially if they're going to try to trade for a RHD that's already under contract.

Say they have to retain 50% on Beauvilier and get like a 4th round pick back. They're going to have to pay more than a 4th round pick to get that 2 mil retained on another player in a trade to improve the RHD, especially again for a guy under contract, because then the salary retained by the original team applies for multiple years. But if they just have the cap space, then they possibly wouldn't need retained salary at all, or only very little

Thread: garland
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jeremyttowne</b></div><div>Rakell had 28 goals and 60 points last year, which is 11 more goals and 14 more points than Garland. That's only with a $50,000 higher cap hit. There's a ton of defense pieces that I'm sure the Pens would be willing to give u[. Yes, most of them are lefties, but most can play their offside.</div></div>

I think that has a lot to do with the fact that Rakell had more than twice the amount of PP time that Garland had. And I'm pretty sure Rakell was PP1 last year.

They both had a 1.8 points/60 at 5v5. Rakell is not a material upgrade on Garland at all. He just had better production because of more favourable deployment, which he wouldn't get in Vancouver. Rakell likely wouldn't crack PP1 here with Boeser and Kuzmenko already as right hand shots on PP1. He might be more productive than Garland on PP2, but it wouldn't justify taking on the longer contract. Garland only has two years left

Thread: Next year Canucks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Hard to imagine the circumstances under which we'd have any interest in Tanner Pearson -- we have veterans Adam Henrique and Frank Vatrano and youngsters Mason McTavish and Max Comtois at LW, and even if we moved one of them into the center, we'd still only be playing Pearson on the third line in preference to Max Jones, which isn't clear.

Buffalo wouldn't trade you the rights to LUKE Tuch for that package, if they had them.</div></div>

It would depend on whether the Ducks could flip Pearson at the deadline. If say they were able to get a second round pick for him at the deadline with retained salary, then they turned a third round pick into a second and a 5th. It's still an upgrade in draft capital.

Otherwise, nothing else they've proposed tradewise makes sense. Suter won't go to Canada, I don't think we could get Tuch's jockstrap for Poolman and a third round pick

Thread: What if No Letang No Malkin
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juiceman</b></div><div>Lol I’m pretty sure 30 other teams would easily beat this offer to acquire a 99 point player regardless of potential cap hit. The fact that you’re trying to defend this is honestly a bit sad

You’re acting like the Canucks have no cap space when in fact they do. They can easily fit in Boeser. Miller even if we keep him only gets a 3 million dollar raise. We can easily ship out 3 million dollars to fit him. Poor justification</div></div>

You either didn't read my comment, or responded to the wrong person. OP says Canucks have a cap crunch, and I'm saying they don't really because Myers can just be dumped when Miller's new deal would actually kick in. He's still got another year at 5.25 mil

I'm saying they would trade Miller if they can get big value, and that he's not a cap dump. So they're not going to trade him for 5 cents on the dollars like OP suggested
