Could be a decent 3rd line centre for the right price.
-
I would have kept Smith over Barbashev at that price.

Simashev is the guy I hope we take. After that there are so many options. I'd be fine with Danielson, Wood, Willander, or any dropper (Benson, Reinbacher, Moore, etc.)

Man. For just a 6th I would have liked to have gotten in on Hayes. Would be a great 3rd line centre and could move up if we shift Miller to the wing from time to time.

If he decides to play in the NHL. My bet is against him. A lot of hype for this 150 lb Russian in hiding.
Noticed on Wikipedia, they have Michkov at 6'0" 175, but I don't think this is accurate. Elite Prospects has him at 5''10 148.
It's definitely a huge risk, but if it pays off, it pays off huge. He's still in the Bedard tier for skill, which is the upside, but all the side stuff that is concerning. I don't know if I would have the balls to pull the trigger on drafting Michkov - my bet is one of the teams with multiple 1st takes that chance.
Side note, imagine if he falls to 19 and Chicago gets both Bedard and Michkov.

Pretty sure I read we’re happy to take Michkov if he drops but we don’t really expect him to be there. As much as I’d rather go C or D id be pretty excited with that - what a coup.
It was in an Athletic article. Would be very interesting if it happened. But if it works out, you’re adding a free 22 y/o rookie on an elc that should be able to step right into your top line in 3 years. That has to be tantalizingly for some gms.

2x ~1.5M deal? Gets him some guaranteed money and Canucks have a cheap bottom pair option for 2024/25. Pretty much buriable too.
Or just walk away.

I've been thinking we could be a good match with Chicago to send Boeser there. With getting Bedard, you have to think Chicago will want to surround him with talent to be successful - not that they expect to be contenders next year, but you want to take advantage of the ELC contract.
Would Boeser be at the top of their list though? There are many cap strapped teams and I would expect Chicago to be aggressive - I could even see them targeting Laf from the Rangers or other similar players (former high ranked prospects that are struggling).
For me, if Chicago is willing to take the full cap hit for Boeser, I don't care what the return is (as long as it is not cap coming back).The $6.65M in space is asset enough,

The Athletic did a mock draft with their NHL writers making the pick (Paywall) https://theathletic.com/4500204/2023/05/08/nhl-mock-draft-2023-connor-bedard-blackhawks/
1. Bedard
2. Fantilli
3. Smith
4. Michkov
5. Carlsson
6. Reinbacher (reasoning is that Arizona also has the #12)
7. Benson
8. Dvorsky
9. Leonard
10. Moore
11. Sandin Pellikka
12. Perrault
13. Wood (imagine him with Tage?)
14. Danielson
15. Yager
16. Barlow

I might catch some heat for this, but in my honest opinion Benson is a bit overrated. He had a amazing year and plays the right way, but played for arguably the most stacked team in the CHL. I think he warrants a top 10 pick (chance he could be there at 11), but quite a few sources have him in the top 5-6 of this draft and I think there is still too much doubt for me that his game will translate to being elite winger in NHL to be taken that high.
This is something I've been debating with myself. If Benson is there at 11, do you take him? He's someone I could definitely see falling.

You aren't taking the cap into consideration here. You can't be paying 5/6 Dmen $3 million. Schenn at $1.15 million is perfectly fine on the 3rd pairing. Or another UFA signing. If they sign Livingstone who is 6'4" and 205 pounds then they don't need Bear either.
At the end of the day, we have our guy now in Hronek who will play on the 2nd pairing. Still looking for a guy to play with Hughes. Not sold on Bear being the guy long term with Hughes, too small of a top pairing.
Signing Livingstone, bringing back Schenn + Juulsen does make Bear more expendable. Could see a Bear extension waiting until last minute unless he takes a haircut

Bear to Winnepeg for Logan Stanley? both are RFA with Stanley fitting the age bracket Allvin has mentioned.
As a Manitoban, and Jets as my #2, I say no to Stanley. He's big. That's it. I'd rather run it back with Bear and Schenn/Juulsen than see Stanley in a Canucks uniform.

Interesting take. Has us drafting Moore at 9 and Reinbacher at 13. I'm just starting to get into the draft, but this looks to be a solid go if it were to fall that way.

Worth a shot on Hajek. With how our d-core is set up, we need to get creative. It's a low cost add, and should be relatively cheap to resign if we want to retain him.
If it doesn't pan out, we can non-qualify him at the end of the year. Low risk, potential moderate return.
-
On the bright side, Im hopeful he can use this time to get 100% healthy for next year. No mono, no concussions, feet are fine. He's got 6 months and should be well rested and able to get back to it by the time training camps start.

I'd also say we should step in and try to be a 3rd team on any Kane or Toews deal. If we can eat some cap to allow another team to fit them in and get picks/prospects out of the deal then why the heck not?
-
Showed this to my friend who is a Flames fan. He says: "Don't need Schenn. Don't need AB. Looch is more valuable than the fans of other teams want to admit. He's a big part of the leadership here. Would love to have him back on league min. Our first this year is prob gonna be ~15. Not a terrible pick. And then Wolf is a young goalie but currently on pace to become an all star."
I think the wolf is a future all star is premature, but clearly Flames say no.

With Muzzin on LTIR and Brodie on IR, it makes sense that they're kicking the tires. They'd probably want us to retain, which is fine.

Imagine Bedard saying no to the draft and signing with vancouver as an undrafted player because he wants to play at home
Imagine he pulls a Lindros and tells teams he is only willing to sign with Vancouver. It's a huge gamble on his part, but he could just go to college for 4 years and then sign - still 4 years of lost income.
I wonder, in that kind of situation, what the cost would be for us to acquire him. The Lindros deal was still a massive haul after he sat out for a year. Heck, Forsberg 1 for 1 would be a steal on its own haha
-
Also glad that this deal happened first. Any team that missed should pivot to Miller now

Love this get for Ottawa. Seems a little low on price though. I know #7oa is a good pick, but i would have thought 'cat would be worth more.
Ottawa should be a fun team to watch this year.

Some interesting views in this article (new) from sportsnet....worth a read
This draft projects to be one full of volatility and two key elements are contributing to the uncertainty. First, we have players who have missed significant development time. Second, we will have teams back on the draft floor, live and in-person which should lead to more conversation and more business getting done on or before July 7.
The volatility may start as early as the first pick. Shane Wright, granted exceptional status into the OHL, has owned top spot for the better part of three years. But now he has two challengers in Logan Cooley and Juraj Slafkovsky, who had strong finishes to their respective seasons. It was clearly evident speaking to scouts and executives at the NHL Combine that the gap between Wright, Cooley and Slafkovsky is as tight as any draft we have experienced in recent times. Often there's a debate over the top two projected picks -- think Tavares/Hedman, or Taylor vs. Tyler -- but rarely the top three.
Aside from this talented trio, things will start to scattershoot after the top eight picks, which is much earlier than we are used to. Typically, we have some certainty as to the first half of the draft, but this year we have some level of certainty in the first quarter of the opening round, or the first eight picks.
There’s also volatility based on where we project the top-end defencemen to go, and how early will they go? Simon Nemec and David Jiricek sit in one tier, with the added value of shooting from the right side. Kevin Korchinski, Pavel Mintyukov, Denton Mateychuk and Owen Pickering occupy the second tier. After that, who knows?
I'll admit I know very little about this entire class, but at 15 I am really pulling for Korchinski (LHD). But it looks like most mocks and rankings have him going before us. But he sounds like a great fit. Almost seems like a moderate floor, but high ceiling type pick which is perfect in the mid 1st

Seravalli has Dickinson 5th on his top-10 buyout candidates. The buyout window opens on 1 July and closes on the 12th of July. Dickinson is not eligible for a possible 2nd window - only contracts of more than 4M are.
5. Jason Dickinson
Left Wing, Vancouver Canucks
Age: 26
Contract: 2 more seasons, $2.65 million AAV
Buyout Cap Charges: $942k (2022-23), $391k (2023-24), $992k (2024-25), $992k (2025-26)
Scoop: How many times have we heard Canucks president Jim Rutherford talk about cap flexibility? One way to do that and create a little more space would be to move on from Dickinson, who netted just 11 points last season over 62 games. Yes, the dead cap space isn’t ideal, but the Canucks probably aren’t in a position to give up a lot of assets – and that way he’d only count for roughly one minimum salary roster spot, instead of the three or four he’s being paid now.I wonder if Buffalo would be interested in taking Dickinson. They're only at a ~$52M hit after the Bishop deal with a 15 man roster. Not saying they need to, they could just top up with UFA's but I can't imagine Buffalo being a lot of players top choice unless they grossly overpay a bunch of guys. Even if we just take back a 7th or swap late round picks. Dickinson can still be a useful player for someone.

A lot of the D available in the First are Right handers
Which I would love to get (assuming they're the BPA at our pick), but only (according to Button's list - who is not the standard) 3 above the 20th pick. So, we may be forced to reach on one if we want, or hope one falls to us.. I'll also admit, I know almost nothing about this years prospects so anything I say should be taken with a pile of salt.

[Report/Rumour] Elias Pettersson Contract Talks
in Trades, Rumours, Signings

I don't believe that the Canucks have to have a great year this year (though it would help), but more so, I think Petey wants to see the direction this team is headed before he commits long term - which is fair. The guy has had 3 coaches over the past two seasons, and he's been on a team that has floundered in mediocrity for years. He wants to win.
I think as long as this team shows it is taking a step in the right direction, he will commit to it.
