TDL Canucks as a Plan B

Équipe: 2022-23 Canucks de Vancouver

Date de création initiale: 21 févr. 2023

Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Boston - Probably going after Gavrikov, but this would be a good plan B. Canucks looking for a 3rd and a prospect (Lauko?) for Schenn. Garland IMO is worth 2 x 3rds straight up. In lieu of that the Canucks take back cap in Reilly, Wagner and Zboril and a very late 1st. Burroughs and Di Giuseppe are cheap replacements that can suit up as extras in the playoffs. Both play a physical game and suit the Bruins style of play.

New Jersey - Probably getting Meir, but this could be a plan B. Canucks looking for a 2nd for Boeser. Dermott (assuming health) is an upgrade on Bahl and rounds out their blueline depth. Ferland on LTIR makes the cap work. With retention and cap (Johnsson) coming back the compensation gets upgraded to a protected 1st and Holtz. If NJ does not make the playoffs the pick slides to a 2023 second.

Carolina - Not very likely, but maybe the eastern conference arms race pushes them to make a move. They really need a "2 C", but a big scoring forward is a nice plan B. A late 1st and a plateaued prospect is a pretty cheap acquisition cost for a forward of his ilk.

Washington - If Canucks can't resign Bear, the Caps are a good fit as they need a RD upgrade now and they have the room for him next year as well. Maybe only a 3rd, but who knows.
