Get your vote in - Canucks Somewhat Realistic #2 Center Options

[lawrence]

Heres my personal proposal

• Trade Cydil for Norris to bolster depth. Keep our captain happy.
• Sign playmaking winger Drouin to spark Pettersson’s production.
• Re-sign Boeser to maintain scoring stability.
• Retain our 2025 1st-rounder to draft a top center prospect.
• If 2026 trends downward, strategically reset and draft another impact center.
• Build around Pettersson/Hughes while integrating youth (Willander, Lekkermäki, Mynio plus our future top 2 centers) and vets.

This balances immediate competitiveness with future flexibility, ensuring a core foundation and optionality to pivot.

Adding Norris, Drouin and resigning Brock might give us the softest top 6 in the league.

I'd sacrifice Benning's beautiful black hair for Bo to come back as 2C.

It adds offence, and if it doesn't work out, we can trade them off for assets follow by a full tank.

trade Quinn for a Kings ransom

tank for Gavin McKenna

Why is Norris considered available? Buffalo will want to see him play for an extended time before they think about moving him. The only way to get him before then is either offering them a better centre or a big overpay.

I wonder if Tampa trades Cirelli?

They have $7m in cap space. They could deal Bjorkstrand to get under, but they still doesn't resolve their depth at RW or RHD.

Paul could be another option to deal as well.
