Easy fix. draft all of them.
With high demand for quality top D, Tanev is our key to a solid rebuild. Dallas window to win is now and Tanev goes a long way to helping them. Signed to a reasonable contract for next few years. Vegas needs a young Dman for the future. Benning get this done:
First Trade: Tanev to Dallas for 2017 3rd overall pick & Honka. Vancouver also gives up a 2nd round pick in 2019 for rights to Nishuskin and taking on 2 of Dallas Goaltenders
Logic: Dallas is loaded up front with offense but can't seem to keep the poke out of their net. Tanev is a proven top 4 D that instantly helps them with that plus push the play. Furthermore Dallas clears cap space to go after a free agent to help them now.
Second Trade:
Vancouver flips the 3rd overall pick with Vegas for the 6th & 15th picks in 2017
Logic: Vegas drafts a Dman for the future in Makar or Miro Heiskanen
Third Trade:
Vancouver trades B Sutter & J Subban to Toronto for 17th overall pick
Fourth Trade:
Vancouver moves both 2nd round picks to move up to the later first round
1st round Draft Day:
With the 5th, 6th, 15th & 16th & later first round picks, Vancouver drafts Cody Glass, Vilardi, Pattersson, Liljegren, Klim Kostin
Vancouver off season additions :
