Confirmed with Link: [VAN/NYR] Canucks acquire SJS 3rd round Pick in 2025 for D Carson Soucy (no retention)

[Mr. Canucklehead]

We have an abundance of cap space at the moment. Hope we weaponize it.

Also, this clears the way for D-Petey to be a full time Canuck for the rest of the season.

 

[vancityluongo]

no retention is definitely key

would way rather retain on boeser + suter and see what that drives for value

kinda surprised soucy waived to go to manhattan after so many rumors that he wanted to stay in western canada... clearly he was team JT

 

[pitseleh]

Feels a bit light. Suspect you could have gotten a third for him in the offseason when his NTC loosens up with the prices UFAs are going to get. But all in all not a big deal.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

That’s a high third. Good currency.

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

Anyone expecting a 2nd or whatever without retention was setting themselves up for disappointment lol.

This is fine.

 

[StickShift]

Soucy had some moments of looking good in year 1 (when he wasn’t injured) but I was pretty disappointed with him in year 2.

He strikes me as a player that didn’t do a lot to help the culture of the team. Earlier this year he watched Hughes get mugged in a scrum by Corey Perry and did nothing about it.

That same game he had an opportunity to cleanly nail Perry in the corner on a puck retrieval and he let up and didn’t even touch him.

He was done as a Canuck after that. You can’t have players that won’t stand up or act on behalf of your captain.

It's SJS' 3rd, which is basically the 1st pick of the 3rd round. Close enough.

the 3rd being the SJ pick definitely helps. doesn't seem like he really used his NTC to hold up a trade or just angle for a single destination anyways

for a guy who has basically been pushed out of the lineup, i'm ok with this

 

[Hammman]

full ntc, no retention and under contract next year, but yeah.

Yeah, the lack of retention and making it SJs pick makes it more appealing.

Incoming LD injury for Canucks

 

[drax0s]

Place your bets for how long we keep that 3rd rounder.
1. 1 hour
2. 24 hrs
3. 5 hrs
4. We spend it before I can finish typing this sentence

Have to put every deal in context. Dum is a UFA to be and got retained, which any team would do for a ufa to be. If Soucy was as well, likely similar return. But, he's at $3.25 mil next year and Van didn't want to retain as they wish to use all of the available cap space next season.

 

[credulous]

don't love this. the cap space next year is the best part of the deal i guess but i think the team would have been better off holding onto soucy this season

 

[Treefingers]

Pretty fair given the lack of retention and Soucy's NTC. The 3rd being SJ's pick is nice.

 

[The Stig]

Cool with it

 

[kanucks25]

I know some people are going to think this is low based on the prices so far, especially Dumoulin, but Dumo is having a much better season and in this case the extra year lowers Soucy's value.

And the 3rd being the Sharks' makes it kind of like a late 2nd.

Happy with this.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Scored the GWG in his way out.

Sad to see him go. Loved Soucy last year and he seemed like a good guy/teammate. But would have been making 3 mill+ as a 6/7

 

[Nona Di Giuseppe]

SJ's pick... decent

 

[Vector]

 

[Josepho]

would've rather kept him this year but at least juulsen isn't coming back into the lineup regardless.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

DeBrusk last Canadian on Canucks left this season.

 

[dez]

Seeing Dumoulins return got me excited for a possible Soucy return, fair price I guess.

 

[Rowlet]

DeBrusk last Canadian on Canucks left this season.

Hoping the Canucks can do the one thing they didn't last season, play a game with no Canadians in the lineup.

 

[Breakers]

Worst player on the roster this season

Horrible horrible performance this year

I thought he was in 5th and 6th rounded territory at best
