    This was a really pretty boring draft this year. No team really pulled off a landmark, roster changing trade, was a lot more fringe moves and changes.

     

    I'd blame it on the flat cap environment everyone is working under right now.

    No way Canucks do this as we lose a majour piece for the team making the playoffs. All of the sudden we are down a #2C in addition to the 3C

    I would disagree. Carlsson can slot into 2C/3C right away. Cap space cleared, and we get a young RHD, which I believe is a more dire need than a 3C right now. The dream would be to snag Jiricek, but that's a pipedream of course. Settle for Bean or Peeke.

    Only reason I could see this is if they don't believe that the window will be during his prime contract years and moving things towards landing a better option for Petey's prime. 

    The reality of OEL's buyout is another major factor here. Carlsson's ELC would help deal with that dead cap better.

    Pretty tempting. What else would make sense as Allvin stated his desire to move up? 

    I'd do it in a heartbeat. It's not a secret that Allvin is foaming at the mouth for Carlsson. I don't blame him, can you imagine a 1-2 punch with Petey?

     

    Throw in Hoglander, Rathbone, a 3rd/4th round pick, I don't care, get it done. 

     

    The Blue Jackets and Canucks are as good of a fit as trading partners as I've seen in a while. Take advantage of their glut of defenseman, and they need another forward to bolster their team who's desperate to win now.

    I agree it makes absolutely zero sense. They'll be getting the #1 Center they need at #3 ready to insert in the line-up in the next year or two at most.

     

      

    Different players for sure Rathbone has little value ... I think Hoglander gets it closer but it's not an overpayment imo. Slightly under if that.

    I'm thinking they could use Miller to fill out their center positions. I think it'd be a solid three with Miller, Kent Johnson and Roslovic. Not sure if Carlsson would be NHL ready enough to take a 2C position immediately - same case for Kent Johnson at 1C. 

     

    Throw in one of our 4th round picks this year to get it done. Columbus is in win now mode - acquiring Provorov and Severson are pretty big indicators of that, I'm sure they can let go one of their young defensemen.
