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

[VanJack]

Canucks now up to more than $13m in deadline day cap space. Is a big-ticket item incoming?

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Domino 1 has fallen…

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

The benefit for the Canucks really is getting off that $3.25 million next year. The high third is icing on the cake.

 

[BoHorvat 53]

Objectively, Dumolin has been a better player than Soucy this season. Dumolin has played tougher minutes than Soucy and has fared slightly better, and is a pure rental vs Soucy who has another year at 3.3 million - getting a high 3rd for him with 0 retention with the season he's having is some real tidy work.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

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

That'd mean our only consistent scorer wouldn't be playing.

 

[Rowlet]

That'd mean our only consistent scorer wouldn't be playing.

Just for one game

 

[Knight53]

It’s SJ 3rd, so will be like a late 2nd. No retention and D-Petey gets a full time spot as he’s on the fast track to becoming a top 4 dman.

Solid deal.

 

[kanucks25]

Miller hasn't been a Canuck for over a month and is still providing more value to us than Petey.

Solid deal.

Currently NJD pick in rd 2 would be 53. SJ 3rd is 65. If the pick was NYR's, that would be about pick 80.

 

[VanJack]

I suppose it has to be considered 'a positive' that a 21-year old rookie like EP25 has come in and made a 30-year old veteran d-man like Soucy redundant.

On the flip side, it's also a commentary on how generally poor Soucy has been this season. If the Canuck keep that pick via San Jose, it could end up being in the mid-60's somewhere. Basically at the back end of the second round.

But in all probably--Allvin includes it in another deal for somebody.

 

[SnapIt]

I’ll never forget his cross check

 

[timw33]

Solid move.

Writing has been on the wall with Soucy after his play precipitously fell off a cliff out of nowhere, and with Marcus Pettersson plugging the 2nd pair workhorse role that we were hoping Soucy could pull off, it made zero economic sense to pay 3.25MM for a bottom pairing guy this year, and especially next.

I do like how they have overhauled where money has been allocated cap wise and the D core structure is now looking quite nice. Should aim to keep the 3rd pair under about 3.5-4MM combined, and Willander could be a big part in allowing us to stay even further below that amount.

We were all thinking about him as a cap dump only a few short months ago, so getting SJS's 3rd only a few picks outside the 2nd is solid when we factor in zero retension.

Hope management builds off of this and can get value for Suter, and if it comes to it, Boeser.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

No retention is nice

 

[Lat]

I’ll never forget his cross check

Agreed. Highlight of his Canucks tenure.

 

[BWJM]

So we chasing Rantenen now and moving Boeser ++

 

[Blue and Green]

This is fine. Probably will be the first pick of the third round. About as good as I could've hoped for.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Coming back in after being suspended and wiring that shot was boss level stuff.

God, I miss the feeling of those playoffs.

 

[VanJack]

OK. So far Allvin has been able to dump the second year of contracts for Desharnais and Heinen; and now the final year of Soucy's deal. That's almost $8m in cap savings for next season for guys who were basically at the bottom of the roster.

I thought 'cap-space' was supposed to the 'king' around NHL? I'm not sure how Allvin does it?

 

[nucks88]

Does anyone else find it bizarre that in a league that is over 42 percent Canadian that this Canadian based franchise has just two Canadians on their roster - Debrusk and Juulsen? I heard that Canadians are pretty good at the hockey and have won a few best on best tournaments in their day. It would be different if this f***ing team wasn’t so extremely shitty to watch but there it is.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

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

Which is fine, it’s a surplus that they’ve acquired through a UFA signing

Not like we are rebuilding next season

 

[Bojack Horvatman]

For those that want to watch the cross check again. Zadorov and Soucy deserve a spot in the ring of honour for this

Yeah

f*** the American like JT Miller

Lol who cares

He seduces GMs with his sexy accent.

 

[Jay26]

I'll take that return for sure. Cleans up a bit of clutter on defense and now, if it wasn't before, EP25's spot on the team is firmly implanted. Tidy work.
