Pettersson Carlsson Raty ...down the middle would be pretty nice

This is nuts, days before TDL, it's TDL. And even though JT Miller is out "injured week-to-week", trade rumours around him are heating up even more. It actually sounds like VAN and PIT are close to something, and one return I saw was Pettersson/Joseph, maybe both. Also heard Boeser's name connected to PIT and those talks being serious. Who knows which player is going, or both.

So, with EDM getting Ekholm, what happens to E. Karlsson?

Canucks really lack leadership now with Horvat and Schenn gone. Who do they got? Miller and Myers? Not good at all. Thinking they will address this in the off season by adding 2-3 quality UFAs..

CAR better trade for Miller quick, if they want to keep up in the East

Stillman and Schenn are gone, just like that. And the D was bad with them. What the heck is the plan for the D? Do the Canucks have another big trade to bring one back? I really don't want to see Boeser for Dumba. No thank you. That would be a dumba move.

Well, here's hoping for another 1st Round exit from the Leafs this year. Maybe JR/PA will turn their two 3rds into another 2nd.

A 3rd from a team expected to go deep? So, basically a high 4th.... Oh well, at least that drama is over. Good luck Luke (but not too much in TOR).

Nice, getting BOS's 1st without giving BOS Schenn

If ARI is picking at #2 or 3, anything is possible. I actually see Bedard going to Bettman's pet project (Coyotes), as they've never had a superstar and he'll give them every opportunity to succeed in the desert. Then ARI will sign Matthews as a free agent after next season. Oh boy.

The whiney suck got his way after all, being all insulted before when NYR acquired Tarasenko. I hope the Rangers go out early.

Thinking Schenn to TB for either Hagel or Perbix

Wouldn't mind adding Poulin, Ty Smith or Pickering to the prospect pool or possibly adding another 1st in 2024?

This seems realistic, although I would be pleased with Miller going "home" to PIT.

Boeser is playing how he looks - uninterested and unhappy. I could almost bet that if he's traded (to MIN or an American team closer to home), he would be a lot happier and start producing again in volumes. He could be a 30-goal scorer in a better situation.

Bo is gone, but Beau is on fire I think if VAN walks away with Smith and Reinbacher, that would be very successful. If they keep winning I could see them getting Dvorsky and Simashev. Also, not bad.

Thinking it's Boeser, but I was hoping I didn't have to wait until Friday.

haha, took me a minute I meant 2023

When does JT's NTC kick in? July 1st? Couldn't the Canucks still trade Miller at the 2023 Draft? Not sure who'd take him, but it would be another opportunity to make a trade.

Didn't Podkolzin play C for a short bit? Could Podz be turned into a #2C?

to MIN - Boeser (25%) and Rathbone to VAN - Greenway and Lambos Hughes Lambos Pettersson Jurmo Canucks could be pretty good at LD (future). Need to draft RDs this year.

Looking into the future 5 years ahead: Bedard (just kidding) Raty Lekkerimaki Silovs D Pettersson Kravtsov Bloom Karlsson Klimovich Johansson Jurmo Not sure I would call Rathbone a prospect, as he is 23 (older than Podkolzin and Hoglander, who aren't really prospects anymore) Jack just isn't good enough to play in the NHL.

Did they start Demko last night because they're showcasing him for a trade? (rushed him back just before the TDL)

Kravtsov has the tools, but the laidback Russian kid is going to need to put in a lot of work. Raty will eventually become a really good player as well, in time. Demko still let in 4 goals, but he is better than the others, so the Canucks might end up winning some games down the stretch. Big surprise. Canucks showing they can play well and win without Miller and Schenn. Guess VAN is picking 10th again. Be funny if the NYI pick was actually better than VAN's after it's all said and done.

That would be amazing but I can't see the Canucks having 3-4 1st rounders in this Draft. If they ended up with Michkov and Reinbacher, I'd be happy, if Michkov played LW, which I'm sure he can. One day... Michkov - Pettersson - Lekkerimaki Podkolzin - Miller - Kravtsov Mikheyev - Raty - Klimovich Hughes - Reinbacher Price (with the 2nd)
