Proposal: Van - Buffalo

[Johnsie19]

So you do or dont want to trade him for prospects?

Canucks are in a win now situation. Buffalo still doesn't seem to have the legs.

Byram is 23 years old. You really think you trade a 23 year old because you aren't winning? Get real.

Your top three dmen are lefties. Do you want another left sided guy making 6+?

So you are pivoting now? From 23 year olds should be traded during rebuilds to this?

If I’m Buffalo I’m doing this trade.

Desharnais will fill the hole that was created when Ristolainen left

2nd line RW?

 

[DJN21]

Was contemplating that and thinking of Hoglander and Benson added but didn’t want to go there yet. I agree it’s a little light but not far off.

was contemplating Hughes and Bryson but decided to keep it to myself and NHL24

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Not enough value going to Buffalo.

If by pivot you mean keeping the same position and expanding, then yes.

The point is that the roster construction might need tweeking. Dahlin and Power are who you've already locked down long term. And rightfully so.

Byram + Cozens for Elias Pettersson.

Apparently 2 available and one who’s disgruntled. 2 Canadians come back home and Dahlin gets his good friend and countryman.

Cap works out.

Elias Pettersson is so overrated, definitely not someone I would want to build my team around, gets pushed off the puck to easily and doesn't have drive. Vancouver is also telegraphing that they would rather Miller and older player than Pettersson.
