Been a while since I stuck my neck out there with one of these things. Here's a Canucks deadline assuming we go .500 in the 18 remaining games before said deadline. We open up cap flexibility and get a lot younger while adding the important piece on the back end. I wanted to be minimally berated by Rangers fans so I added too much retention and sacrificed the 1st rounder for a 2nd of which you have 2.

Ritchie for Pearson is an idea I had in the moment, just seems like it could make sense. You'll get much more use out of Pearson but the Canucks don't need the 30+ year old for the next 3 years so we get out from under that since Ritchie's deal expires at season's end.

Halak should be sent to the highest bidder. We just need a pick back for him. Spencer Martin can backup to season's end if need be. A 3rd is high, but Koskinen is highly undesirable. Even if he's looked better of late. He always looks better of late until he doesn't.

I'm least sure about the Predators. I think they looked like they were going into a retool/build but have surprised many including I think themselves this season. I think the Boeser deal helps their scoring on the wing a ton for a good cap hit since he hasn't had the best year. The Canucks open maneuverability with the cap and get some really nice young pieces with a bunch more team controlled contracts.

I'd move Tyler Myers but that requires a gm to make a bit of an error. I don't know who'd make that error.

The team would be worse going down the stretch but honestly that would be a good thing for 2022 draft position. Jirichek, Lambert, Cooley, Nemec, Slafkovsky etc. would all be nice pieces but we'd likely need to be in the top 10 to get any of them
