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.

 

[BWJM]

Time to free up more cap space.

Trade block update:

EP40
Demko

Will we miss Demko? No.

Will we miss Pettersson? No.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Time for mgmt to earn their money.

No more excuses.

 

[ManVanFan]

Time for mgmt to earn their money.

No more excuses.

Sat saying the Canucks are already looking to use that Rangers first.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Sat saying the Canucks are already looking to use that Rangers first.

Probably for some plug like Ristolainen.

 

[Sophos]

I'm going to just operate on the assumption Boeser is now gone at the TDL, and I doubt it'll be for immediate help, which means more CAP space and futures for this re-tool in the making.

Mikko Rantanen could very well be a serious target when FA starts.

 

[wonton15]

Trade the 1st for a Bowen Byram type top 4, trade Boeser for another 1st or a young forward, offer Rantanen $15M

Suddenly the complete outlook of the team changes. But only if we drug Rantanen and make him sign here.

 

[Bobby9]

In don’t trust this management group with any cap space.

If we’re letting BB6 walk I prefer a new group sign players.

 

[Bobby9]

Marcus Petterson to the Canucks

 

[pitseleh]

 

[iFan]

Oh boy what did we give up

 

[Bleach Clean]

Pettersson coming here. Has to be the 1st

 

[ProviesGhost]

Wow, these guys don’t f*** around

 

[iFan]

Pettersson coming here. Has to be the 1st

A 1st for a UFA when we’re not contenders

 

[pitseleh]

 

[valkynax]

Given the deal we made with Miller, this is TERRIFYING.

What the f*** is this team doing????????

 

[Nuckles]

Sources say #Canucks are in the process of trading Danton Heinen.
