[Proposal] Canucks - Blue Jackets


Recommended Posts

I'm not sure how I'd feel about getting Laine, he doesn't really fit what the team needs IMO (he's another one-dimensional player who mostly thrives on his big shot, but he's even more expensive than Miller and doesn't bring much else besides that bomb -- we already have Miller and Petey as our PP1 shooters).  He also costs only slightly less than Boeser and Pearson combined (he's at $8.7 mil * 3 more years) so he'll want top-6 time.  If Boeser has a more complete game but still can't fit in, I don't think that Laine would fare any better considering how our PP isn't having any trouble, but rather it's the defense that needs to be addressed.

Canucks trade

Brock Boeser 

Tanner Pearson 

 

Blue Jackets trade

Patrick Laine 

2024 2nd round pick 

 

Please no Laine 4 yrs X 8.7 million..

Spend money on RD man under 26 for 7 or 8 million...

We don't need Laine  Canucks offence is top 8 in league but defence if health would still be 21st in the league..

 

Need more then Boeser when your adding Pearson for Laine..

 

Boeser 25  6.7 million X 3 year  -- Rathbone

Peeke 24, 6'2  - RD - 800,000 this season then 3 yrs X 2.75 million - plays 20--22 mins -- 3rd rounder 2023

I would even trade with Calgary...

Boeser 25 -6.5 mil X 3 yrs -- Pearson 30 -  2 yrs X 3.2 million fit for coach Sutter--

 

Dube 24 - 2.3 million X 2  LW - speedy -- 18 G last season usually 3rd line in Calgary

Lucic 34 - 1 yr 5.2 million

2rd rounder 2023

We free up Lucic 5.2 million this summer

Counter with this to fix all our needs:

TO CBJ: Bo Horvat (30% retained)

TO VAN: Kuraly + Peeke + 2nd or 3rd round pick


We get our young top physical RD who is on a bargain contract next year, 2.7M for the next few years. Kuraly is 29 years old and can play 3C minutes for us under Petey and Miller, and we get a pick. They have Nyqist's 5M off the books next year so can fit Bo.

 

CBJ have shown they want to make big moves and win games, Bo gives them a solid anchor as their top line center. They'll have to re-sign a bunch of their young guys and probably find a defenceman to replace Peeke in the off-season/UFA but they have a lot of young guys on ELCs who might be able to eat some of Peeke's minutes.


Meanwhile we get a 3C and partner for Hughes for the next decade, that alone should be worth it. A 1st round pick would be nice but they're not going to give up a top pick, maybe top-10 protected? Otherwise I'd settle for a 2nd.
