Players leave and cap space opens up. It’s fascinating. Each team turns over 6 - 9 players every season. Some of these guys will be retained, some won’t. Trades will be made, prospects graduate, It’s pretty neat.Allvin is facing some tough decisions with this lineup. Although the Canucks have been the 'talk of the NHL' through 35 games, they're still 'a work in progress'.
And the Canucks are facing some hard choices with their UFA's. Blueger, Lafferty, Joshua, Cole, Zadorov and Myers are all without contracts for next season. Obviously with blueliners in high demand, Allvin will have an opportunity to 'sell high' on a couple of these guys at the TDL.
But of course depending on the return, he'll probably end up having to weaken the lineup over the short term. I'm sure they'll extend contract offers to Blueger, Lafferty and Joshua. But if they don't sign, what do you do?
Canucks can ill-afford to lose these guys for nothing.
