To VAN: Cirelli, Sergachev, Johnson
To TBL: Hughes, Podkolzin, Eriksson (bought out)
Tampa does this trade for 3 reasons.
reason 1: Hughes and Podkolzin are both expansion draft exempt, assuming seattle will pick a player over a prospect you will have 8 forwards and 4 defenceman (is Foote exempt?) from the starting roster protected.
reason2: Podkolzin is Going to be an excellent player in the NHL right away. Getting him for 3 years on a ELC will set you up to be a stanley cup favorite for at least the next 3 years. Jere Lehtinen 2.0
Reason 3: Hughes will be his best self on a team like Tampa, since your team always has the puck, Expect hughes to put up 100 point seasons.
Canucks do this trade for 4 reasons
reason 1 the value of Cirelli and Sergachev make up for the negative value that TJ brings for the next 3 seasons.
Reason 2: Hughes is not a good fit for a team with the worst puck possession metrics
Reason 3: Cirelli is the perfect player for the canucks and a perfect replacement for Sutter and an eventual replacement for Horvat.
Reason 4: Loui Eriksson, for the first time in 5 years will help the canucks win a game.
conclusion: Both teams do this trade to improve their teams for the short term
