Without Hughes there isn't enough team skill. Petterson is in a funk. Chytil is about it. Even if Petterson was good it's only 2 skill players with Hughes out, the rest are effort players.

Management are going to need to address this at point in the offseason and try to add another creative forward.
We have like 12M of cap by the deadline, trades will be made

They can’t really go big game hunting if they don’t want to move any of Willander/Lekk/1st

Not sure what Mynio + 2nd can net you

Edit: I guess they can flip the assets acquired from a Boeser trade

Soucy seems very competent and pretty damn good on the right side, that would be a nice change.

But honestly, we need to trade him eventually here because willander is taking that spot

Willander could player with mp or Hughes and free up Hronek or Myers to play with ep2. Now matter how you cut it he gets squeezed but only if Willander makes it, Willander for a year in the ahl.

Playing both sides is handy but a $3m spare d on a team with weak forwards might be a luxury they can't afford.

Agreed. It was eye opening watching the Canucks play on Prime. The commentators couldn’t stop praising Myers. I think he has more value than we think around the NHL. We could trade him before the playoffs for 2x2nds

In an ideal world Willander steps up in 2026 and the pairings look like:

Hughes - Hronek
MP29 - Willander
DPetey - Soucy

Size, Skating and skill on every pair.
