It doesn't look like the Canucks can do much more before the start of the season.
We will probably have to wait and see which teams inevitably start the season flat and become desperate. Hopefully there is a hot seat GM who will feel pressured to take Myers.
Ideally we could then bring in a top pairing RHD to push all the other guys down. Sounds impossible but stranger things have happened I guess.

No thanks and I'd have said that before the Eichel injury news. Dahlin is better than Hughes moving forward most likely but I'm taking Pettersson over Eichel and with Eichel you have no idea how he even plays after coming back.

In a pickle 🥒
I think the Heiskenen and Makar salaries were actually very fair. It was the Werenski and Jones deals that set off a crazy valuation for UFA years.
I think we need to explore what we can get for JT Miller at next years TDL.
He will get Landeskog money in his next contract and I'm not sure im prepared to make that long term investment on a player that will be 30 yrs old at that time and who plays a robust physical game that forces the body to breakdown sooner than later and usually around after 30 yrs old. I see him getting 7 by 7 in the open market. Canucks shouldnt touch that.
I'm all for keeping him if he wants to sign a 3-4 year deal to stay with the Canucks, though i highly doubt it as that will be his last big pay day contract chance.
Hopefulyl Podkolzin can develop into everything Miller has become by then and we can just promote Podkolzin to that role and trade Miller for a young RD or very high picks and prospect.
What we cant do is allow Miller to walk into free agency and lose him for nothing.
He will literally be the most valuable asset the Canucks have ever had at the trade deadline in many many many years.
Worth at least 1st, 3rd and a prospect.
Core I see moving forward in 2 years.
Pettersson
Horvat
Hughes
Boeser
Demko
Podkolzin
Hoglander
Garland

Jim Benning will never trade Miller at the deadline. We should all prepare now for him to walk as a free agent.
They aren’t moving Miller. They will either be in playoff spot or very close at the deadline and they aren’t trading their top winger
I agree. There are only two possibilities - we sign him to a bloated contract, or he walks. There will be no trading JT under Benning

Domi is on the trading block.
I was toying with the idea of a Pearson for Domi swap AFTER Petey and Hughes are resigned. Domi makes $2M more than Pearson but Pearson is on a three year deal and Domi only has 1 year. This would create cap space in year 2 and 3.
The reason i thought of Pearson was because i'm not a huge fan of his contract, especially in year 2 and 3 and Columbus needs left wings.
Not sure if there'll be $2M in extra cap space after the RFA's are resigned though

No GM will trade a first line player at the TDL if the team is in a playoff spot. Fans talk about it all the time but it rarely happens. If the Canucks are out of the hunt then yes I’d trade him.
Domi sucks. And is not good in the room. Pearson is a 2nd/3rd line tweener and paid accordingly. Would I have resigned him? Probably not. But when your captains puts pressure on the org to bring him back you do it. ImoDomi is on the trading block.

Was that ever actually substantiated ? That Horvat pushed for Pearson's resigning

I think Pearson will utilize his full NTC and block a trade personally.

I just figured with flat cap salaries would be a little suppressed doesn't seem to be though. Jones deal no idea what Hawks were thinking but the Columbus one though I agree he's way over paid needed to stop the bleeding of talent.
mid there a report or something credible on this? I honestly just don’t remember

The market for D-men is effing insane. If Hughes holds the line on that kind of money, trade him.
I agree on the general premise of trading Miller despite his significance to the team. But the timing needs to make sense. The Canucks will likely be fighting for a playoff position near the deadline so the likelyhood of a deal then is basically zero. The 2022 off-season is probably when you need to make a bold move before his last year to restock the cupboards of youth. That being said, I fully expect him to walk in Free Agency and we get nothing.

just make it nothing. We dont need them getting anymore of an ego about what future considerations could be
Eichel and Pettersson are about equal, with Eichel having the potential to be a tier above. Dahlin is superior to Hughes, and is going to be a top 5 d-man in the league for a long time.
I don't get attached to players. Eichel and Dahlin would make the Canucks a better team.
