We'll give you a 5th for Virtanen.....done deal
He's on the Kings, dealt for 17 games of Toffoli.
Then we have to trade with the Kings
Low hockey IQ. Has all the tools (fastest skater on the Canucks, laser shot, good size and strength), but makes poor decisions frequently.
Sutter + Virtanen for future considerations is ideal, but doubt Jersey goes for that. Maybe with retention on Sutter they would.
That’s the thing...Schmidt wasn’t even close cap dump player and Vegas still only got a 3rd rounder. Most of these names are more or less dumps so if Vancouver really needs to shed them, they are really going to need to sweeten the pot.
Yes they would be, basically depending on what bad contract is going back any prospect is likely on the board, Podkolzin being the least likely to be moved.
You have to give up something to clear cap. Canucks if they can move cap can go and sign someone at a cheaper rate to fill the same hole

What about Mercer.
I would love to pluck Severson out of NJ. Sounds like NJ fans feel his value is much higher then we would probably be willing to pay lol. I was thinking maybe Lind, Rafferty, and a 3rd/Sutter.
Of course they will, and they should seriously think about doing it too...all comes down to what the PLUS would be. Not getting a 1st for a 1yr contract dump

In this market I wouldn't be willing to give up more than a 4th + C prospect for Virtanen.
NJ has the space to take cap dumbs but not as much space as they had a week ago. Certainly won't be taking anything with term. If you have an expiring contract you need to dump for immediate cap relief then we can certainly take your hands with the appropriate sweetener.

Part of why Severson's value is so high for us is because our defence is horrible. He's literally our best dman which isn't saying much.
Can't see us parting with Severson until some of our younger D kids are more proven (Smith, Walsh, Bahl, Okhotyuk, etc.)

Sutter only has one year left at 4.4 or something close to that. I think he has some value as a defensive player and a vet. I could see Sutter and a good pick/prospect making some sense to the Devils or any team below them on the cap space chart. I think the Devils could make things interesting this year so he wouldn’t be wasted on them. Gain a good asset and he’ll likely add something defensively in the bottom six for a team on the way back up but not really a threat yet. It’s only this year so it doesn’t hurt the future.
If the Canucks are that screwed someone will pay to get Virtanen. Maybe not that much but something.

Smith is a beauty. I would be jelly if we didn't have Quinn. That kid could be something special.

you arent getting a top-20 pick just made this year for VirtanenWhat about Mercer.

Not to mention the reason theyd move him is because they have to, not because they were asked to
Severson would cost you too much and Vancouver doesn't have much in the way of high-end defensive prospects, so Boeser would be the only option for NJ and that wont happen
Would Sutter waive his NTC to come to Jersey? At 31 years old, he's probably not looking to join a rebuilding team like ours.
Sutter, Rathbone, 2021 2nd for cap space works for me.....

A fair rebuttal for sure, who knows that he would be willing to waive but everyone is acting like the thought behind this thread is inconceivable. It’s not. Both teams could get something they want out of it. The marketplace is constantly changing. Just because Schmidt went for a third doesn’t mean someone wouldn’t take Sutter with a prospect if they have some room. It makes sense to do it if you’re in the right spot. Detroit just did it with Staal. That to me is the comparable here, it only took a second and Staal makes more money. Both are ufa after this season.
Most teams would be all over getting Severson from the Devils.....Devils fans are way too hard on him.....

We have literally no reason to trade Severson for that package. None at all.

Teams are not going to dump a contract without feeling major pain on the prospect or pick side.
The longer Fitzgerald waits, the better off he'll be.
