Eriksson to Islanders to play with Tavares.
Virtanen for Ho-Sang? Has Ho-Sang soured the Islanders?
Except for Markstrom, I'd think it was Miller for Halak and a pick.
This is a common example of Eklund saying dumb stuff. It's been documented that these two teams aren't good trading partners. Both have generally the same need. The problem is that the Canucks don't have a lot of pieces with value, and the ones that do have value (Horvat, Tanev) are pretty much untouchable
I don't get it.
If a dart board only has 20 spots, where does he put the other 10 teams?
I like this deal for both teamsHo-Sang 2017 1st For Eriksson Canucks 2nd 2017
Canucks Bring in Ho-Sang who has some problems but could be moved up to nhl and NYI 1st this year
Eriksson Provides Tavares with a much needed Winger and a 2nd round pick likely to be mid 30's Canucks could retain on Eriksson too if need be
I like this deal for both teams
Isles CAN NOT and WILL NOT take on another declining talent over 30 on a long term deal. Ladd is finally starting to play well and he was brought in as a veteran to slot into the top-6.
Strome-Hutton makes sense as if the Isles don't have intentions on Protecting Strome, they could bring in Hutton as a younger NHL blueliner as insurance since as of now it looks like One of Pulock/Pelech/Mayfield will be exposed in expansion and possibly taken.

LOL
I think the question is who would Vegas take on if either player was exposed and Ladd I think would be picked up instead or Eriksson. If I was the GM of either team I would expose these players in a heart beat!
