I’m surprised Arvidsson has looked so terrible. Even with more time needed to recover from surgery, I figured he’d be able to produce as a trigger man. I think he might be in line for a bounce back similar to Mikheyev looking spry being a couple years removed from his surgery.

Ew.

It’s not a slam dunk but you have to take risks when you’re asset and cap space limited.

Bias aside Kane fills a lot of holes in the forward group.

You cannot afford to add a toxic player like that to a shaky locker room.

boeser a fit for LA? maybe take a guy like spence back?

Arvidsson is washed and has been for awhile, contract was a joke day one before anyone knew about nmc.
Skinner is the better option to buy super low, and move soucy somewhere else if necessary for something positive, teams always want big defensemen.

Well they almost won a cup last year? Haha.

Adding Kane can’t make this locker room worse lol.

Yes he absolutely can. He’s also declining, always injured, lazy, stupid, and overpaid.

let the games begin tmr hopefully a flurry of moves will cause a domino effect.

After we won tonight Fredo will be even more determined to buy and not sell.

It's just one year.

You're letting your player bias affect your view of the situation.

He would objectively be a good add to this forward group - he brings much needed speed, size, physicality and goal scoring abilities. He scored 24 goals last year (only 2 PPG) in 77 games last year. It's also mostly a contract swap with Soucy who we can replace with Forbort/Mancini without losing any on-ice value.

Canucks need to take chances to swing for ceiling - getting Evander Kane for Soucy would be a ceiling raising move. I think he'd be a great fit on Petey's wing - would definitely elevate the line. He'd be the best goal scoring winger Petey's ever had (outside of Boeser).

He could replace 80-90% of Boeser's production at a fraction of the cost.
