Canucks Trade Deadline Plan

[theguardianII]

That time of year again.
Loads of cap space.
Two or three serious team issues that need addressing.
GM's get players a coach wants, is Tocchet the next coach, still unsigned and he has the option to sign, it is his decision too and he hasn't.
That affects the players the team might want.

Should they use this year and the TDL to rip off the bandage and start the healing/building process for the next year.

Boeser, Demko, Pettersson, Suter, Soucy, Hoglander, Joshua, Blueger,

It's going to be a 'sellers market' for just about every position on the ice, but particularly for depth defenders and scoring wingers. And the Canucks have a few of both.

Boeser should fetch a decent return; and depth defenders like Soucy and Forbort will probably attract some interest.

If the Canucks want to drill down deeper at the TDL, there might be some takers for Suter, Blueger, Hoglander or even Joshua. Although I think they intend to keep both Hoglander and Joshua.

And I see Canucks Army has come up with six potential trade destinations for Thatcher Demko, now that Lankinen has signed a long-term extension. So that will be something to watch.

Finally EP40. Highly unlikely you could ever trade an $11.7m, long-term contract at the trade deadline. That's more likely an off-season move. Although you never know.

Apparently the Canes have determined that Rantanen isn't going to sign there before July 1st, so they may try to flip his big contract in the next couple of weeks.

I pray they can get it done prior to his NMC kicking in. Maybe a trip to Winnipeg, they will want a long term potential star player and contract. Take back futures, maybe 1rst rnd picks for 2026 and 2027 plus a prospect and an older player(?) They will have cap space. Florida might come calling now that Tkachuk is out.
