Mancini's played NHL games for the Rangers this year, from college. Scott Young pick perhaps? An upgrade over a Lindgren cap dump?

 

[Agent007]

two things to confirm. Any retention and what are the conditions on the 1st?

 

[Agent007]

lol I think they just did the same 1st round protection as the Horvat trade

 

[Pacific Canuck]

Whats the TLDR on Mancini?

 

[Isi]

at least now we can focus on the true worry for the canucks: is hronek actually legit

(i'm joking. kinda)

 

[TruGr1t]

They have to do something if they are actually trying to make the playoffs this year after the Miller trade.

The Flames just improved, and I don’t really see the current roster as a playoff team.

 

[Pacific Canuck]

Saved some cap, got younger, picked up a RHD prospect, trade ticked a few of the boxes anyhow

 

[Bobby9]

Well we now have the softest too 6 in the NHL w EP, Chytil, and Boeser.

Not built for playoff success whatsoever

JT Miller’s turning 32 signed to 2030 with a cap hit of 8M, he’ll be 37 in the final year of his contract.

1. Canucks didn’t retain salary, just freed up a lot of salary room, can use it to improve their roster however they like.
2. Filip Cytill is an excellent middle 6 forward & only 25 years old.
3. Canucks can resign all their players including Boeser and still have lots of salary space left.
4. Mancini is a solid D prospect, something we lacked before, now we have Willander, Mancini, Pettersson, kudryavtsev (D prospect pipeline is excellent).
5. Canucks traded a 1st to Tampa for JT & got a 1st back from the NYR, but the Canucks got to use Miller’s services from 2019-2025

Considering all this, it’s a win for the Canucks. This year the Rangers got better, going forward the Canucks will be much better off because of this trade. Good trade for the Rangers if they win the Cup this year or next, but that’s a lot of pressure and the Rangers aren’t really doing that well this year so a bit of a weird move by Drury to go for it.
