[Discussion] Canucks Go for 2024 Stanley Cup


Recommended Posts

Bored so feel like taking a crack at this GMing thing to turn this team into a cup winner 😆

 

TO ANY1

Kuzmenko

 

TO VAN

Best pick(s) offered

--------------------------

TO ANY1

Garland

 

TO VAN

Best pick(s) offered

--------------------------

TO ANY1

Myers

 

TO VAN

Best pick(s) offered

--------------------------

Cap space freed up ($16.45m)

--------------------------

 

Now for the fun part...

 

TO VAN

Elias Lindholm ($4.85m)

 

TO CGY

Aatu Raty

2024 1st round pick

 

Hopefully this would be enough to convince Calgary to move their pending UFA to their division rival. They owe us 1. They literally have like 10 ex Canucks over there!.. May have to look at ways to sweeten the deal though..

--------------------------

TO VAN

Vladimir Tarasenko ($5m)

Jakob Chychrun ($4.6m)

 

TO OTT

Vasily Podkolzin

Hunter Brzustewicz

2025 1st round pick

 

It is a lot, but may not even be enough. With Tarasenko being a UFA, and Chychrun rumored to want out, I feel we should look at getting both of them in Vancouver to help propel us to a Stanley cup. We would be getting 2 years out of Chychrun, and have a chance to get Tarasenko on a team friendly extension.

--------------------------

TO VAN

Pat Maroon ($1m)

 

TO MIN

Pick(s)

 

Get this guy over her to immediately boost our cup odds. Nuff said

 

 

Lines after trades...

 

Miller Pettersson Boeser

Mikheyev Lindholm Tarasenko

Joshua Blueger Hoglander

Maroon Suter Lafferty

 

Hughes Hronek

Chychrun Zadorov

Cole Soucy

??????

 

Demko

DeSmith

 

Would have enough cap space to acquire a Dman with an aav of $1m or less for that #7D role, or just promote from within. Not sure what options are out there at that price range atm so I'll leave it up for conversation. It would suck to lose Garland for sure, but I feel Hoglander could fill his shoes. When he's on his game he brings that same kind of intensity you see from Garland on a consistent basis. In a perfect world we keep Garland, but feel we would be better off using the cap on a guy like Tarasenko and/or Lindholm.

 

Interested to hear your thoughts and/or criticism

My worry is that Garland, Kuzmenko and Myers are better than Lindholm, Chychrun and Tarasenko right now. They certainly look better in our current system. 

 

I wouldn't mind doing some big sort of power play with Calgary though...


TO VAN: Lindholm + Tanev (both 50% retained)

TO CGY: 1st + Hunter B + Kuzmenko +/- Suter

 

Pettersson - Miller - Boeser

Hoglander - Lindholm - Mikheyev

Garland - Blueger - Joshua

Lafferty - Suter/Aman - AHLer

 

Hughes - Hronek

Cole - Tanev

Zadorov - Myers

Soucy
