—————————
Brandon Carlo - Playing only 15mins per night, he is a high octane cheese dman with a good TA/GA ratio. Thick as a Beluga Whale, his calm presence would be worthwhile.
Bryan Rust - High GAs for a winger is what we want to look for. A simple minded person may think, “wow he turns it over a lot”, but a wise person would understand that means the player has the puck a lot and is a SOG merchant.
Jordan Dumais - Let’s be honest we’re not drafting any better
Ryan Suter - Calm veteran presence adds a factor we don’t have back there. Could help Hughes defensively.
Ryan O’Reilly - From DUI to DU I flex my cup ring. Any character issues or conflict between Bo and JT could easily be resolved with mediator ROR. Character addition to the room.
Nathan Walker - We are dying for a speedy playmaking winger. Why Walker? Well he has bad possession stats but that’s nothing new or uncoachable so it’s a buy low chance.
Jackson Cates - A defensively responsible bottom 6 C that’s not washed like Beagle or the many that came before him. High defensive zone starts cuz his coach trusts him.
Jakub Vrana - Can never do with too many fast hardworking wingers.
Bjorn Lidhammar - Upcoming elusive prospect in the Kings system could make for a good call up, and of course, he’s Swedish.
Leon Draisaitl - Need I say more?

We lose nothing and basically gain everything.
This trade would officially shoot the Canucks right up into contender status with great additions all around to round out the team. Demko arrives in playoff form and we become unstoppable.
