Did either team make another trade after the one involving Dadonov?

Taking a Poehl of what everyone thinks? ... Some responses seem to be Poehlar opposites... Leading me to think maybe this plan shouldn't be touched with a 10 foot Poehl...
...I'll see myself out.

Regardless of his locker room character, just the (alleged) fact that he has flagrantly disregarded Covid protocols on multiple occasions should be a non-starter. Even if he gets along well with teammates, if he is potentially encouraging the spread, and thus other players being added to the protocol list, that's detrimental.

If he wants to go back to Switzerland, I don't blame him. It's beautiful there. Expensive as hell, but beautiful.
Kind of like BC.

Is San Jose getting out from this contract without a buyout?

Politics.
It's always been a wonderful idea on the surface. But, unfortunately, the details don't seem like they will ever make that idea a reality.

It's still wrong that hockey hasn't been moved to the summer Olympics. With modern Ice abilities they could host hockey during the summer months and potential even grow the sport globally even more when it's played in non traditional winter cities
They need to move it so it doesn't collide with the NHL season and additionally by doing so would provide recovery time prior to season start

Can't be all just skiing and snowboarding, and cross country skiing.
Basketball seasons tend to be done indoors and in winter. So why not move Basketball to the Winter Games?
I'm quite fine with Basketball in the summer games.
I vote for both! MOAR HOCKEY!!!

Did the Pens ever attract any notable Swedes or other nationalities from Europe because of Allvin?
Do they have the Sedins or the long list of prominent Swedish alumni as well?

Adding to the strong Swedish connection can only help with drafting and signing high profile Swedish players.

Trick them into doing it for Chiasson
San Jose takes Chaisson for Kane, retains 50%, and gets a 3rd team to take 50% of the remaining 50% for a pick.

This sounds like it could be a scene from an Austin Powers movie when he stumbles into one of Dr. Evil's traps.

There must be a reason he's been around this long and never gotten the job?
Maybe he didn't want the job in the past? There has to be a reason he was chosen for interim GM.

No, absolutely not. Love the guy, and the Canucks mean everything to him, but he should remain a figure head for the Canucks. He doesn't have the experience in the industry to be trusted with GM decisions.
13 years coaching and 17 years in various front office roles, working closely with the GM,... you're out to lunch. How does one get experience then? If he didn't have the experience, he wouldn't be interim GM.

Canucks prospect Karlsson breaks Pettersson's rookie record in Sweden
Elias Pettersson’s Swedish rookie goal-scoring record in Sweden no longer stands, and it’s another member of the Vancouver Canucks organization that broke it.
Linus Karlsson, who has been mostly an under-the-radar prospect in the Canucks organization since the team traded for him in 2019, scored his 25th and 26th goals for Skelleftea AIK in the Swedish Hockey League today.
The 6-foot-1, 179-pound forward ripped home a pair of wrist shots to push past Pettersson’s mark of 24 goals in 2017-18.
Karlsson, it should be pointed out, has the advantage of being an old rookie. The late-bloomer turned 22 in November, making him three years older than Pettersson was as an SHL rookie in 2017-18.
While the rookie goal-scoring record should perhaps be taken with a grain of salt, Karlsson has already posted the 10th-most goals in an SHL season by a player 22 years of age or younger.
With 45 points (26-19-45) in 51 games, Karlsson leads his team in goals and is second in points this season. Karlsson ranks ninth in overall SHL scoring and is tied for second in goals.
The trade for Karlsson, which saw Jonathan Dahlen head to San Jose, wasn’t well liked by prospects experts at the time. Truth be told, Dahlen might still be the better player, given he has 22 points in 52 games as an NHL rookie with the Sharks this season.
But that ship has sailed.
Canucks GM Patrik Allvin previously stated that the team would be active in trying to sign free agents from the NCAA and Europe. Karlsson, who is unsigned but under team control, is a candidate to play in Abbotsford next season.
Daily Hive’s Canucks prospect guru Daniel Gee profiled Karlsson in great detail last December, noting that he had improved his game. While he isn’t a great skater, Gee highlighted Karlsson’s impressive shot, passing ability, and puck-handling ability — projecting him as a potential bottom-six forward at the NHL level.
