RFA, no?

He’s not going to hit the 76 NHL games required by age 25.  If he plays every remaining Canuck  game this season he’ll be RFA. If he misses 1 he’ll be a group 6 UFA

No UFA unless he plays in all our remaining games. It's the rule about having to play in x number of games (80?) in three seasons iirc, otherwise you become UFA.

Might have been a better choice to give him the games instead of trading for a guy who's proven to be incapable of playing at an acceptable standard for the NHL.

It’s one of those change of scenery trades that could pan out great if the player gets motivated by this. He’s much more mobile and only 25. This will be his second team so it should be his best opportunity to make something of himself, as soon as you start going on your third, fourth team, you are a journeyman Dman

Well... I'll be pleasantly surprised if he plays better than Hunt and Juulsen to warrant a 3rd round pick!!

Ottawa convoy and doing their own research jokes aside, can we take a moment to commend Allvin for selling to a team that should be selling? Love to see it :lol:

Yea that part was pretty impressive.

 

Like selling for a pick and no cap retention?

 

Sens should have had no motivation to be buyers…

Canucks needed a defensive-minded LD in the stable, especially to pair with Myers.  
 

This lets them go back to Poolman / OEL when Poolman is healthy as well.  Could be a little bit more balanced with offensive / defensive leaning guys playing together.  


Just an option anyways.

Good point, if Poolman can let OEL unleash some more offence it will make a huge difference.

 

Problem is though that OEL and Myers are really the only shutdown options we have. Don't think Poolman is the answer there.

Update: The third-round pick Vancouver gave up in this deal is not the one they acquired back from the Senators in the Hamonic trade. Rather, it is the pick originally belonging to Winnipeg that the Canucks acquired in the Nate Schmidt trade

So we we moved up in the third round? Probably a good 10 spots?

sounds like that, feel better but still feel the price is too high for this trade

The hockey world reaction is pretty supportive of this: trading an older, more expensive D for a younger and highly touted D. Bachelor calls it the best Canucks trade in years. I don’t think they are done yet.
