70seven Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Forsberg - Petterson - Boeser Schwartz - Miller - Hoglander Pearson - Horvat - Podkolzin Motte - Highmore - Lockwood MacDaddy OEL - Larson Hughes - Fabbro Rathbone - Hamonic Edler Demko Dipietro So here’s what’s up. Canucks leverage AZ. Coyotes take Myers, Beagle, Eriksson and retain just over 2M on OEL, bringing him to 6M on the cap. (AZ buys out Beagle and Eriksson, and save themselves around 30M actual dollars while keeping a similar but lesser defender.). Vancouver generates just over 9M additional cap space. Seattle takes Lind Canucks buy out Virtanen + Holtby, save 4M. Canucks then move picks 9, 41, and Nate Schmidt to Nashville for Filip Forsberg and Dante Fabbro. This will eat about 5M of cap after Fabbro extension. Canucks re-sign Travis Hamonic. 2 years slight raise. Canucks sign Adam Larsson. 5 years 4.3M. Canucks sign Jaden Schwartz. 4 years 4.2M. Canucks re-sign Edler. 1 last hurrah. Petterson gets a bridge. Hughes gets term at a more reasonable cap than most expect. And badda bing, your 2021/2022 Vancouverrr Canucks!!!

Elias Pettersson Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 That lineup is softer than a baby's bottom. The defence especially. Benning said he wants to get bigger on the backend not smaller... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still 23, natural RHD. Edited July 10, 2021 by 70seven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 (edited) Nashville wants to keep Forsberg long term. Forsberg has already said he wants to stay in Nashville btw. His personal situation is probably an added incentive. Would also make for an unbalanced cap spending to add a 6M D when their priority is to extend Ekholm. If Fabbro is not ready to play with such a reliable and steady D-as Ekholm, he probably isn't ready to be Hughes' steady D-partner. How do you reach savings of 30M - at 1st glance looks lower than that. Johnson talks of playing DiPietro upwards of 50 games in the AHL next season. Says DiPietro hates being idle and now you want to park him as the backup goalie. Edited July 10, 2021 by mll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patel Bure Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 (edited) Not what I want + not sure if Benning does the following: To Tampa: Michael Ferland To Vancouver: Tyler Johnson To Arizona: Eriksson + Virtanen + 9OA To Vancouver: OEL To ???: Nate Schmidt To Vancouver: 3rd round pick Canucks sign Adam Larsson. Miller-Pettersson-Boeser Pearson-Horvat-Hoglander Roussel-Johnson-Podkolzin Motte-Beagle-Highmore OEL-Larsson Hughes-Hamonic Rathbone-Myers Demko Holtby What I’ve been tempted to do lately even though it’s not realistic: To Calgary: Miller+Schmidt+9OA To Vancouver: Tkachuk+Andersson+11OA To San Jose: Eriksson + 11OA To Vancouver: Evander Kane To Tampa Bay: Michael Ferland To Vancouver: Tyler Johnson Sign Adam Larsson (or David Savard) Buyout Virtanen Tkachuk-Pettersson-Boeser E.Kane-Horvat-Hoglander Roussel-Johnson-Podkolzin Motte-Beagle-Highmore Hughes-Larsson (or David Savard) Rathbone-Andersson Juolevi-Myers Demko Holtby Edited July 10, 2021 by Patel Bure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And keep the 9OA pick for ourselves. Plus I'd rather get a 1st round pick with Johnson, instead of trading Ferland who is on LTIR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 My guess: Pettersson - Miller - Boeser Pearson - Horvat - Hoglander Motte - ?? - Podkolzin Roussel - Beagle - MacEwen Highmore Hughes - ?? Schmidt - Myers Edler - Rathbone Juolevi Demko ?? So, basically the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd go from being one of the smallest wimpiest teams in the NHL to a very physically imposing one. I'll admit that I wasn't on the David Savard train up until recently (@HSKR kind of showed me the light so to speak), but he'd be a great add just incase we were unable to add Adam Larsson. Benning always talks about winning culture and bringing in vets that have been a part of winning cultures. David Savard would definitely fit that bill, and he'd already have familiarity with Tyler Johnson (who I believe still has game). That above Canucks line-up looks like it would be built for playoff hockey. Only thing missing would be another high end two way quality dman (like a Hampus Lindholm type).
