Seravalli: Canucks looking to improve by adding a Puck Moving Top 4 Dman with size

[BoHorvat 53]

We're not trading Willander.

If Noah Dobson is available, we most definitely are.

No they aren’t. Making a play for Dobson, given what he’d cost to acquire, is foolish from a Canucks’ POV.

 

[SEALBound]

Is Dobson legitimately available though? Oh all the guys on the roster, why do the NYI trade him?

I think Pettersson from Pittsburgh makes the most sense as we get closer to the TDL.

Throwing this out there McAvoy for Pettersson 1 for 1.

Add in Coyle and you have a deal

Contract status.

Matheson

Contract status.

1yr at $4mil then an RFA. Top pairing dman whose 24yo?

X Doubt.

Same here. Would be a good partner for Willander going forward but what is a realistic contract ask for him? I doubt Vancouver is paying a high price in trade capital for a rental.

Depends. I think you can give him a 5yr 5.5-6mil deal and be okay. I think he could get slightly longer or more. Jake McCabe might be a good comparison. The dman market coming isn't all that great. It's either top end like Provorov or Orlov or you're in the sub $2mil range. Not a ton of the mid-level guys, especially those with top pairing capabilities.

Rental wise, as Emp has said, Pettersson+2nd for Pettersson retained a bit could be pretty easy to pull off. I might as for the 1st if he's willing to negotiate an extension. That said, we would also love to take Lekkerimaki.

Lekk isn’t going for a guy like Marcus Pettersson. 2nd+B prospect sure. I imagine he’s a guy on the Canucks’ radar given Allvin and Rutherford’s history with him.
