No way that Florida moves Ekblad. A top 4 of Hughes - Ekblad and OEL - Hronek would be amazing, but no way that happens.
I could see Bennett and Lundell for Miller though. That would work for me.

Boeser for Stanley...?
This is the only thing I could see work well (So we can save some cap), otherwise I would rather just sign Tryamkin as he is a bit more fleet of foot.

This is a LOT of cap space that Columbus just freed up. 8.25 million off the books.
Making a run at Miller?
He'd probably look pretty good centering Laine and Gaudreau!
That would be pretty nice. I don't think Columbus is looking for a major rebuild, I think they are looking towards a strong re-tool with who they have in place. They have embraced the tank for this year, but they are not selling their core players just yet. Miller could be in play there.

It’ll be interesting after the trade deadline to see if miller stays playing like he has the last ten games or returns to retirement contract miller of the first 40.
Not sure, you'll have to ask the Hurricanes.

The question is I wonder who will be scratched tonight
Miller (Carolina), Boeser (Pitts) and Myers (Well, he'll likely be moved after July 1st, so he'll likely play to help the tank). One can only hope at least.

Hughes - XX
XX - Hronek
OEL - XX
My guess would be:
Hughes - Hronek
OEL - Livingstone
Tryamkin - Bear
Schenn
With Schenn taking regular shifts for Livingstone and Bear as we need defensive matchups or as Livingstone learns the ropes.

Miller to Carolina still looking pretty nice right about now. Saving my money so I can pay for all the Kotkaniemi letters on my next jersey.

Just now, N7Nucks said:
Even if they don't plan to compete soon. Chychrun is still just 24 years old. They'd have to tank for like 8 years before he's gone from relevancy completely. I don't trust his health. But still, if I were Arizona I'd send him out East too.
I’m not sure they are planning on competing at any future time as they seem to just be controlling costs until some move or investment, but I do agree that Chychrun is not a perfect fit as another LD.

You think Arizona would give him to us for what they got from Ottawa? Don't answer, cause it's no.
Damn, and I was just about to answer. At least you didn’t use the term “full stop” so I appreciate that at least.
Division tax is real, but it’s severely muted with Arizona as they aren’t even pretending to compete. They will take the best future deal for someone regardless of division. Oh I guess I answered. Apologies in advance.

Could this be the deal? Morrow over Skjei and it's a major WIN.
The Hurricanes have acquired LW J.T. Miller, D Jack Rathbone, and LW Nils Hoglander from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for D Brady Skjei, RW Martin Necas, C Jesperi Kotkaniemi and a second-round pick in the 2024 NHL Draft. #Canucks
Would be a major win but clearly fake and not happening in a million years.

About the same amount for Chychrun as Hronek? Something is fundamentally wrong with our organization.

I thought OEL-Bear was the best we saw out of OEL this season. This opens up:
Hughes-Hronek
OEL-Bear
Still some serious work to do moving out Myers and finding a legit 3D who can play the PK. Tall task.
Nicely done with the Tryamkin reference. There is our PK guy if the Pettersson swap doesn’t work out.

Tryamkin will be a good defensive partner for Hronek.

This feels like it could be a really good move. If we move Miller and get a 1st and Pickering as part of it we could start to be light years ahead of where we were.

Ya'll are missing the point here.
Only DeNiro seems to understand the implications. They said MULLER, not Mueler, or Bueler.
Muller is only one letter different than MULDER, which is obviously an ode to Aliens and the Xfiles.
Pettersson is a known alien.

SALAD, or in hockey terms, means HAIR.
Hair = Boeser.
Boeser is Millers teammate.
Miller to Pittsburgh confirmed.
It works because anybody named Pettersson is 6'3 170lbs (Elias, Marcus, Elias the 2nd (They even ran out of name creativity)). That's just the Pettersson clone mould. X-Files was also filmed in Vancouver, so it all lines up very very nicely.

Feels like a good time to jump to the more intimidating skate jersey (At least on weekend games as somebody mentioned). Pretty keen on seeing big Tryamkin #88 in the black skate jersey.

who is JT Muller? Cousins with Ferris Bueller?
Or related to famous draft bust Peter Mueller.

If the Nucks are taking a cap dump McGinn 2.75X2 and an overpaid LD Pettersson 4.025, they should
be getting a far better return than that.
They don't need the extra cap space for Miller this season, if the Canucks take Blueger 2.2 (along with
the 2M for waiving McGinn + Friedman + Penns cap space + flipping Zucker). Zucker's $ can be applied
to JT's new contract.
To me, the basis is getting Pickering and another 1st (3 this year gives us so many options) and the Miller cap relief since he's not the right timeline. Pettersson can actually help our D (Wrong side, but maybe he can play with OEL on his offside) and is likely easy to move if needed for positive value. As long as the cap offset is short term like you mention, I think we are fine.
Ultimately I am still fully in the trade Miller to Carolina camp, but this seems to have some legs.

Depends what they do in the playoffs
Very true. There are a lot of variables with those picks, but luckily there are a lot of targets within the first round even later in the first round (Dragicevic, Cam Allen, Strbak etc). Mid rounders would be great, but certainly no guarantee.
-
A lot of things have to happen to have us acquire Chychrun and the balance will just be off regardless, but here goes an option just for fun:
-Miller for Pettersson, McGinn, Pickering and a 1st
-Pitts 1st, NYI 1st and Rathbone to ARZ for Chychrun
-Myers moved to Chicago in the offseason for FC (High cap, low dollar amount)
-Sign Schenn, Livingstone and re-sign Bear
Hughes - Chychrun (playing his off-side)
OEL - Livingstone
Pettersson - Bear
Schenn
Certainly better than this year.

Zucker also has a partial NTC, teams with lots of cap space are more likely to be one of those 10 teams
Agreed and it's unlikely to be him. Pettersson and McGinn make up the amount nicely along with some nice adds going back our way. I think we could be tossing a player like Burroughs back to ensure they have some cheap playoff D depth.

Not happening anyways, so don't need to spend any time on it. Bennett and Lundell matches the cap of Miller almost exactly. Do it PA!!!!
