I think if they move the 1st it will have to be a hockey trade where they are getting a player to help for multiple seasons. It will have to be a UFA willing to sign an extension at reasonable price as part of the trade (aka Hanifin last year) or a player already with cost certainty for multiple seasons.

I'd be targetting a 3C that has 2C upside to slide into top 6 when needed. Something similar to the Sam Bennett trade by Florida when he was stuck in his own tracks in Calgary.

If you add a denseman with this years first it's ideally someone who can bump Soucy down to 3rd pair role and be a solid mentor for Willander the next few years.

I think the Canucks are a good hockey team.....probably good enough to finish in the top three in the Pacific and make the playoffs for a second straight year.

But are they a legitimate Cup contender? And would a couple of key additions at the TDL like last season turn them into a legit contender? I just don't think so.

So shedding valuable picks and prospect just to make it into the second round--doesn't resonate with me.

Yeah let's re-tool we just don't have it I guess...

Hmm what a bummer.
