Yup.  We need a Gillis move where he got Hamhuis and Errhoff and Tanev.  

Hamhuis was a free agent who wanted to sign here. 

 

Ehrhoff was a good advantage of cap.

 

Taney was one of the best free agent signings from college

I don’t get why so many of you want to ship out a solid useful player like Pearson. Would much rather dump Dickinson if dropping a forward with salary. 

We can probably trade Pearson and actually get an asset back.  Dickinson has negative value and will cost us an asset.  That would be the reason to trade Pearson over Dickinson...

Agreed. Pearson probably gets us a decent LD or RD, could help us a ton. I did like the way he played though last year, especially with Miller so we'll have to see how that turns out this year.

Yet another bottom pairing RD

Pretty much. I like Bear for what he is, in a vacuum. But he's largely more of what we already have and doesn't actually fill any short term holes, or the long term caverns in our top 4/right side.

Thing with adding Bear is that he is another smaller defensemen.  Can he play top 4? If Hughes/OEL work out the Canucks need another top 4, preferably a cheaper young and better 2 way/match up player than Myers.  But with Schenn possibly moving at TDL, maybe Myers in the off season I could see it filling a hole.

Just for fun...

 

Nucks: Horvat, Poolman

 

Canes: Staal, Bear, Morrow, 2024 2nd(Flyers pick)

 

Canes inform Staal they won't re-sign him, thus he agrees to move on. We lose a little Bo-value, by adding Poolman to pkg.

 

Horvat would LT fill the role of Staal.

Terrible trade, Canucks get Bear and Staal that has zero value, a nothing pick and Morrow. I rather have Horvat and re-sign him so we are 3 centers deep. This trade is making us go backward and be even more mediocre

Who do you think they were trying to move this off-season without having to add draft picks.

 

Creating cap space was an off-season priority and they said all along that they weren't going to be giving up draft picks.  They probably didn't think they could move Dickinson without having to give up picks - ie it was others they were hoping to move.  

 

Both Allvin and Rutherford confirmed that they weren't able to make the moves they wanted this off-season because they couldn't move cap.

Is there some type of confirmation that JR/PA were trying to trade Pearson?  Or is it just speculation on your part based on their comments?
