Rumor: Rick Dhaliwal- " Had a source tell me I'd be shocked if Holtby was a Canuck by next week"

Do you think the Canucks are trading them an asset to take Holtby?
Or Seattle just straight up takes him?

The marketplace will dictate an easy move for Vancouver and Holtby, About 8 teams that want to be competitive are needing a vet starter. Tor Bos Phil Chi LA Edm Col Pitt
After Grubauer Anderson Riemer Mrazek and some really old and unreliable guys(Smith Rask Elliott) Holtby will find a team that is willing to gamble one year on him. He's too young to be written off and an expiring contract is a positive vs having to ink one of these other guys wanting multi year ones

I would assume the Canucks add a prospect. My guess is that we add Kole Lind for them to take Holtby.

G Braden Holtby ($4.3M AAV)
To
D Calvin De Haan ($4.55M AAV)
G Malcolm Subban ($850K AAV)
Hawks bring in vet #2 in Holtby to play behind Lankinen for year while the Nucks add a vet defender who can play either LD or RD and fits some of what Benning is looking for this offseason (He can PK , Play a bit physical , etc)
Subban is in deal because Hawks already have 4 goalies under contract so would need to send one packing and Subban is can be easily buried to play in Utica or up on Nucks roster (Depending on what Benning would want to do)
All guys involved are signed for only this upcoming year then are UFA's so no longterm implications

No way. The only Holtby trade that I have interest in is Koskinen for Holtby, in hopes that both rebound. Even that is only if we can't trade Koskinen at 50% retention.
Do we have any 2nd round picks to send them with Holtby? Jimbo likes to throw them away.
I wouldn't take Holtby, but they seem to have interest. I assume they would want retention, or an asset, thus Lind.
I also dont see why the Canucks would take Kasian for 3 more years with his terrible contract. Id rather just have Holtby for 1 more year and be done with it.
42nd overall.
Though i think that might be bookmarked for a Loui Eriksson trade
I think teams look at Montreal and how Allen helped shore up the net when Price needed a break and with a somewhat compressed schedule, I think teams will be interested in a veteran backup.
I could see Seattle take him and keep him until the trade deadline just to see if Dreidger wasn't just a one-season wonder and provide him with some solid goaltending depth. It's why Holtby was signed by Vancouver in the first place, to see if Demko could handle a starting position.
I could also see a team with a young goalie nearing starting duties want a veteran to help them out with the preparation of being a NHL goalie. I don't expect a huge return as his salary is higher than his cap hit, but a 3rd rounder would be my expectation.

After this off season, I don't think Kassian's contract will look that bad. The Rangers appear off to a good start with Goodrow's 6 year deal.

Benning said he was looking to add a more mature Russian player to be in the team for Podkolzin.To

Maybe your trade but Zadorov instead ?
Kass isnt a guy you give long term deals with.
He needs to be motivated by only having short term deals and the fact he knows he needs to put in the work to get a next contract.
Giving him security and stability is a disaster for someone who always had the physical tools but lacks work ethic or consistency.

I believe the Canucks aren’t able to trade him yet as I think all teams have to expose a goalie.
I saw a rumour about Benning asking Seattle to pick Bjugstad.
So Bjugstad to the Canucks for Holtby with some retention.
Seattle can flip Holtby for a draft pick
Seattle can pick a young rfa or Beagle(and flip him with some retentiom.

OK just for starters compare the number of 2nd-of-back-to-back-games that the two played and get back to me...
