In the immediate future I would think OEL will partner with Hronek and could do well if he's healthy IMO PA will have 2 major moves to make. Unload Myers with a prospect (Rathbone) and eat some salary- everyone would hate this but starting training camp without Myers would be in win Stay at home RD for Hughes without trading more picks! If those two transactions take place over the summer we're in pretty good shape to be competitive.

That sounds right. Millers best year was when he was deployed as our 2nd line center behind Petey. Before he was injured, his game was looking good without Horvat and with Tocchet. I see that continuing next year as Tocchet/ Miller seem to have striked up a good arrangement. The 7.2 Million dollar questions is can OEL have a bounce back year in 23-24 like last year. If healthy and with a bonafide top 4 RD that will do the offensive work I believe he can. The buyout as absolutely ugly so any way to avoid would be best. Raty hopefully will be that 3C , just not sure about next year but he certainly has the potential and is working hard at his faceoffs which will be key. Still lotsa work to do!

Hughes- X OEL - Bear(re-sign) X - Myers( try to move with asset) X- Burroughs Still remains to be seen if they move Schenn This should be an interesting summer to say the least. If something can be done with Myers without throwing a 2nd rounder or top prospect in, it will be a win Starting to believe PA may not be the best in the media, but who cares if he gets the job done behind the scenes.

[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Nashville Predators | Feb. 21, 2023

Third it, Stillman was improving under Boudreau after his rough start. Tocchet here has helped him take a further step. He's aggressive at times, show some offensive flair at times so now it comes down to positioning, simplicity and consistency for him. He has the tools. Like most Canucks D, playing him with Myers puts him in positions to fail and the only player I would somewhat trust with Myers is an RD on the trading block. Therefore we either bench Myers or Stillman will get the call most nights without OEL.
