This is interesting, but there is no way to verify it yet.

Hence me eating popcorn as we all watch how it plays out.

If this is right, you can fire up the EP40 trade rumors starting after the season and through the end of June.

Well, if EP cancer in the locker room Adams will not trade for it.

Why not?

The rumors were out there up until now that he isn't competitive enough and that's why Miller was targeting him. Nothing that happens between now and the end of the season should change what people think of EP40, IMO.

Well, that's what I'm talking about, if during the season it turns out that the problem in the Canucks locker room remains and EP is the main character in this drama, Adams won't trade for him. And now I think the Canucks simply won't trade EP, the moment has already passed, we need to look for other options.

I think Adams could still trade for EP40 even if he appears to be a problem in Vancouver.

GMs think their team's culture can fix a lot of stuff with guys with red flags everywhere. That's why guys like EKane and Tony DeAngelo and others keep getting chances in the NHL.

Adams will probably ask Dahlin if he thinks EP40 would be a good fit and go from there. And given the reported interest, I bet Adams has had that conversation with his captain.

Maybe, but I don't believe EP40 will end up in Buffalo anymore.

Must be fun to be a Vancouver fan right now tbh.

 

[jc17]

I think its funny that people will think this is some sort of proof Miller wasn't an issue.

Early trading frenzy

Everyone but the team most in need of making moves

 

[Fjordy]

I looked at Granlund as a potential top 6 C option for us, maybe when he becomes a UFA, there aren't many options there.

 

[Zman5778]

Seems like a tidy bit of business for the Sharks. Stars get deeper and a bit more versatile.

 

[Ace]

would love to get into this third of the league instead of bottom third spenders and bottom third finishes. Because God knows we can’t get into the top half of the standings.

Imagine telling his previous teams that Cody Ceci would get traded for a 1st rounder.

Given that tearing down is always easier than rebuilding, Grier seems to be finding value in taking on salaries/contracts and then flipping them in season. He's divested himself from long term deals where he has been able to. Its a base level of competence as a GM.
