PA & His Large Band are deserving of some serious credit on this trade: got cap room, did a cap dump, got rid of non-performing player, moved a forward for a D, got a player with grit who can also back it up, all for a 2nd round pick almost 2 years from now, in an extremely difficult trade market with most teams having almost zero cap space. Not sure if that's warranted. The salary cap issue was somewhat self-inflicted with the re-signing of Miller. We are still needing to re-sign Horvat, keep in mind. I feel like they have actually cornered themselves right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was probably to get a good look at aman to see what they've got there. Lazar is already a known commodity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So did we just trade a 2nd away so we can free up roster spots to keep Karlsson and Aman? Both players doesnt stand out to me at all. But both are Swedish and Allvin is Swedish. Too much Swedish love? I thought Aman actually played well in preseason to be fair. He probably has a particular role that the club wants him to play (fourth line player?) or a depth piece in case of injuries. He's cheap, came here for free, I got no complaints.

Lazar might move to wing, if Aman is playing centre on that fourth line, with Joshua on the other wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much Swedish love? We did it so we could actually ice something resembling a 23 man roster, being able to actually recall "papered" players, given the amount of short term injuries that don't allow us to put players on LTIR and are further complicating our already tight cap space. Beyond that, we got rid of an ill fitting player and received some much needed (injuries) D depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the veterans and the really good players don't go hard in pre-season and for good reason. Injury is just around the corner. We didn't even go that hard, and we still had so many injuries to players. We're missing two top six players from the top six in Brock and Ilya. That's going to hurt. Petey was almost hurt, and Höglander as well. So yeah, let's see where they are at on Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much Swedish love? Nah, Karlsson showed that he's decent enough to fill in when there are injuries. Boeser/Mikheyev are currently out, so he's filling in. The dude needs to work on his skating to make the NHL permanently imo. He will most likely be in the ahl developing when everyone is healthy. Aman on the other hand, impressed. He looked like he needed time to adjust to the NHL, but after couple of preseason games and practices, he learned and adapted very quickly. Bruce pencilled him in as 4c and has been delivering the entire time, making smart plays away from the puck and skating very well. He has been anchoring Joshua and Lazar, and severely outplayed Dickinson. The 4th line identity seems like physical, hard to play against, without being a huge defensive reliability. Myers is out for 2 to 4 weeks, and with dermott concussed, adding stillman is just an insurance on the lhd. It's already frail as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I'm excited to see Stillman, we need to be harder to play against & if he can help out there it'll be a nice pickup. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injuries will test the depth and good chance, it will be the MAIN reason that will kill off the playoff dream. The past regimes bad decisions continually haunts the current Canucks..

Petey Castiglione Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 JR/PA seemed to have trimmed a bit of fat off the roster while upgrading the depth and creating a bit of cap flexibility. Will be nice when we can upgrade the top 4 RHD but for now, management have hedged their bets with a few LHD capable of playing the right side.

That's how I try to talk myself through situations like that......right or wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
