Depends what you are looking for. I’m not sure combined there’s much juice there outside of Tippett. And he’s not a good enough centerpiece for a true top level guy.

Denisenko and a pick seems like a package that would fetch a quality rental upgrade from a rebuilding team. Or Vatrano straight across for a useful depth defender of similar value?

What are the Panthers shopping for?

Seattle has Giordano, Soucy, Fluery and Lauzon as options that could be had. Giordano is an UFA next year so is a rental and they can retain or take a contract back. Soucy and Fluery are signed next season at fairly cheap and Lauzon is a RFA this summer. They should be interested in young offensive talent back, I would say the order of interest would be Tippett, Denisenko then Noel. Giordano should be the one they trade and I would ask Tippett plus a pick.

If you are looking for a bottom pairing d, the following Canucks may be available:
Hamonic
Schenn
Burroughs
Poolman (don't think you'd want his contract though)

Id say Gudbranson for future consideratios (y'all make the playoffs and he plays in 50% of the playoffs games we get a 7th,if not zippo)

he would waive early, what would you offer for Trouba?

can do expiring for this yr cap but then need real cap relief and decent quality return

btw I don't expect him to even consider going right now, but FL is a good relocation as discussed and Panthers are making a strong push for the cup.

Rangers should not be foolish impulsive all in now, set up instead to come back stronger after this yr

With the $10 million extension for Barkov starting next season and currently only $4.5 million in cap space next season with 6-7 players needed to be signed, I don’t see the Panthers wanting to add another $8million dollar defender. This would also make resigning Hubby (after next year) difficult. I like Trouba but his contract, his nmc and personal reasons for wanting to sign in NY will significantly reduce the number of trade options for Trouba right now.

Hamonic
Schenn
Burroughs
Poolman (don't think you'd want his contract though)

Any of the 3 who aren't bolded would be available, Luke's looked pretty good next to Quinn Hughes.

Burroughs can play both sides, Hamonic's missed time due to COVID and travel restrictions (only vaxxed later) but is stable defensively at least. Poolman honestly is meh (does occasionally make risky rushes and passes) but then again OP's offering fringe roster guys and projects so maybe there's something there?

Hamonic (when healthy) for Vatrano + Noel maybe? The others aren't really what Vancouver needs (Vatrano's good but smallish and only included him for cap balancing reasons [hopefully can flip him down the road], and we don't really need more skilled wingers).

Rather just get a 3rd/4th for Hamonic.

Depending on where Winnipeg is sitting come the TDL, I could see Dillon being available, maybe Schmidt and/or DeMelo. One of those guys will be a cap casualty.
