[proposal] Vancouver Canucks-New Jersey Devils

[Jeremy Hronek]

Edit - revised proposal (changed from Kuzmenko to Mikheyev).
 

 

To New Jersey:  Ilya Mikheyev + Tyler Myers

To Vancouver: Timo Meier + Colin Miller

 

The cap difference is quite negligible and so it should work from a cap perspective.

 

Colin Miller and Tyler Myers would be a wash (i.e. decent bottom pairing defensemen that can fill in as a #4 when a team has injuries).  

 

Coming to the Canucks would be Timo Meier.

 

Meier, for whatever reason, hasn't quite found his footing in New Jersey. 

 

When he's on his game however, he's a bonafide Top 6 player that can play the body and be a physical presence. 

 

While Meier does carry a hefty and long term contract ($8.8 million for the next 8 years), he's still relatively young and could be a good long term player for us.

Meier's contract is going to age badly.  Don't think I would want anything to do with that contract.  He's also having a terrible year, so that is a red flag.  With Kuzy, at least we can trade him and his contract fairly easily next season if things don't work out...

The cap difference is around $900K-$950K (weighted towards NJ) and so it should work from a cap perspective.

 

The Devils get a player that should be able to produce alongside one of Hughes or Hischier.  

 

While I'm not overly familiar with NJ's playing style these days, I think they're style isn't quite as rigid/structured as ours which ultimately allows for more creativity and flexibility (which would suit Kuzmenko's game).

We don't need another 8 year anchor contract. We've been through that movie already. They'll be trying to give him away as a cap dump next year.

Bumperoo.  Kuzmenko switched to Mikheyev.
