1st trade: VAN - SJS - WAS
VAN: Kuz, Mantha, Iorio
SJS: Myers
WAS: Garland, Lebanc,
1 of Rathbone /Truscott/Karlsson
WAS has like 900k in cap space, want to move Kuz and Mantha but can't find takers, they have no value without sweetener. They lose Iorio but clear an extra 4 mil in cap to fill out roster. Garland is a big upgrade on Mantha and Lebanc is better than Mantha.
2nd trade VAN - NASH
NASH : Beau
VAN: 2024 Dal 3rd round pick
Nashville has made some odd moves this off season, they want some more offense which Beau will provide, only 1yr left and if NASH isn't in playoff hunt he could be flipped for a 2nd at tdl. They are rumoured to be in on EK but I don't see this happening, requires to many moving pieces and a lot of money.
3rd trade: VAN - DET, just 'cause I don't want to use LTIR
DET: Pearson, Studnicka
VAN: Zadina
Peasron is rumoured to be back this season, we don't have space for him due to cap, he will bring Vet presence to DET. Zadina is rumoured to be on the brink of being bought out as no team wants him. Let him play on our 4th line.
Roster
JT. Miller, Petey, Boeser
Kuzmenko, Kuznetsov, Mikheyev
Mantha, Blueger, Podkolzin
Hoglander, Aman, Zadina
Joshua
Hughes, Cole
Soucy, Hronek
Hirose, Poolman
Irwin, Iorio
Demko, Martin
After all done Canucks should have about 500k in cap left and no Ltir mumbo jumbo.
