[Canucks LB]

Ian has contacts for the Canucks, very rarely would he mention this if it’s not potentially going to happen.



Also this

 

[Tact]

Sure, Carolina can take Poolman back.

 

[Canucks LB]

Just please for the love of God don’t be for Höglander

 

[Eegs]

I don't think this is the remedy.

 

[ffh]

Signing when he was allowed to talk to teams by the canes would have been a good way to get him.

 

[wonton15]

He is not what the Canucks need. We have enough middling to bottom D as it is. We need quality and a bigger better RHD.

 

[Gurglesons]

Just please for the love of God don’t be for Höglander

will be lol

 

[spockBokk]

Could see it.

Would think the Canes want a pick(s), no salary coming back.

 

[McJedi]

Assume it’s for your 2nd or 3rd round pick from the 2024 draft. Would be solid value for Carolina and won’t hurt Vancouvers current roster.

I’d do it for hoglander

 

[credulous]

I’d do it for hoglander

only makes sense for vancouver if they can move one of their cap problems (pearson, dickinson, poolman) in the transaction. doubt carolina is interested in taking on money and term though

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Not to say that Hoglander couldn't beat someone out for a spot, but the Canes have a full lineup and that's not including Pacioretty and any deadline acquisition(s).

Which makes no sense for CAR.

They’d look to deal Bear because they have too many RD. They have no room at the inn up front either. If they deal Bear, it’ll most likely be for futures.

Can’t be futures, salary has to be going back to even it out

 

[spockBokk]

Then I can’t see any deal going down. VAN can be interested all they want, if they want to send back salary, nothing’s happening.

It needs to be said that the Canes do not have to deal Bear. They can keep him on roster, without cap issues.

 

[Bevans]

Glad to see that this is not part of the Summer of Pierre.

 

[beachcomber]

Don't need a middling player like Bear.

 

[Dr Quincy]

The problem is very few teams can and are willing to make a pick for a player with $ deal.

The teams that have space aren't interested in giving up futures for an ok player when they can probably grab one for free off waivers.

Players are dealt for picks all the time.

If the Canes were willing to QO Bear, I highly doubt they’d waive him. If it comes down to them having to waive a D, my money would be on Chatfield, who may be of interest to VAN as well, but he also comes with another yr of term.

 

[Tact]

Players are dealt for picks all the time.

If that’s the ask, this rumour makes no sense because they have no cap space to take Bear on. Cap would have to go the other way. And for those reasons, this trade doesn’t happen.

 

[Bankerguy]

Offer a b-level prospect and no pick higher than a 4th rounder.
He's a bottom pairing RHS guy but still has some potential... i would not value him that high.

If they're moving Hughes to the right side, then with Bear, the right D look like:
Hughes
Myers
Bear
Schenn

that's okay

 

[Dr Quincy]

Players are dealt for picks all the time.

Of course.

But you may have noticed this offseason is a bit of an anomaly.

There are 10 teams that can add his salary, which is pretty meager, but that shows you the weird uncharted waters we are in.

Of those 10 teams, some don't have a need (CGY, NYI) and a bunch have zero interest in competing so they aren't going to give an asset for 1 year rental of a 6th D (ARI, CHI, ANA).

All it takes is one interested party, so it could happen, but we are seeing right now that nobody is all that interested in adding salary.

 

[Richard88]

Guessing DeHaan will get a contract soon if Bear is on the move.

Slavin - Burns
Skjei - Pesce
DeHaan - Coghlan
xxxxx - Chatfield

(Gardiner LTIR)
