Alflives Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Just now, Jimmy McGill said: post-expansion I think we'll have takers for Holtby. So we lose Lind but maybe recover a 3rd from Boston, e.g. Or we just keep him and have a solid tandem to run with. We don't need to dump Holtby at all. I agree there’s no need to dump him, but if it only cost Lind or Gads then freeing up 2 mil in cap can be used to go towards signing a third line centre, or middle six winger.

I don't like the idea of giving anything extra to the Krak-heads tho. I'd rather send him to Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Seattle interested in Holtby, but want Canucks to retain salary. Rick D says Canucks as of right now are going to protect Kole Lind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Even if we retain a little, moving Holtby would provide some options. Bet heavy on Demko, get a cheap backup and try to improve the rest of the team. I like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnt be the worst move for us but I think we can get a team to take on Holtbys full cap after the expansion draft. No need to do Seattle any favours here. If they want Holtby they can take him at his full cap or take Gadjovich, Highmore, or Bowey. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure. In the end having that room is important. Whomever isn't traded or sacrificed to the Kraken comes off the books next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Any guesses? Mine are: Boston, Buffalo, Carolina, Colorado, Detroit, Pittsburgh, San Jose, Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Canuck #12 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 So who would want to be trading for him and have an opening to protect him for the expansion draft?? Because if they don't trade for him before the draft, then they risk just having him stolen by Seattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to have a goalie exposed to Seattle, so seriously doubt Holtby gets traded before expansion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could easily get a goalie back in a trade. If Seattle has interest in Holtby other teams would be wise to trade for him now if they want him.
