Confirmed Trade: [VAN/COL] Tucker Poolman (20% retained) and 2025 4th round pick for D Erik Brannstrom

[Nona Di Giuseppe]

Nah, he can't handle an NHL forecheque and panics all the time with the puck. If he couldn't survive in a superior defensive core in Colorado, there's no way he's going to survive in an inferior defensive core in Vancouver.


Brah, the two million doesn't count against the cap when its put on LTIR blud. This ain't rocket science.

You clearly have no idea how any of this works. I’d read more, type less until you figure out tbh.

Brannstrom placed on waivers Avs have the chance to do something really funny

It would benefit Canucks if they get brannstrom back

 

[Skolman]

not really. they settled for the canucks' own 4th. they should have held out for the oilers 4th that the canucks got in the podkholzin deal.

Lol, Okay Canucks fan.. You're right, Canucks won the deal

As far as the Canucks are concerned they won this. They got a bad, but serviceable depth D and got rid of someone who will be on LTIR all season ruining the teams cap plans for a late 4th when the consensus was that it would take a 1st or 2nd to move him.

When has LTIRetired players ever taken a 1st or 2nd to move? A mid/late pick has been the going rate since... well forever.

This is such a minor deal, it's weird people calling a winner. It's a step up from AHLers getting swapped.

Indeed. It's hard to even call it a "win-win" because nobody is really "winning" here. It's just a swap of things that two teams didn't want...that fit each others' situations and cap needs better.
