2025-26 Playoffs

Canucks pass

Nothing of value in the Zegras offer. Start with a piece that hurts to loose, not spare parts, and you'll be on the right track.

Bruins pass. Dvorak is good defensively but we could go acquire someone like blueger/ Wennberg in UFA that do the same thing for free.

Would rather just target Stephenson/ Lindholm in UFA and then you get a better offensive and defensive forward as a whole.

Canucks decline. No interest in Matheson, we already have two players who fill the same role but are better and younger in Hughes and Hronek. Matheson produces well because he gets top ice time and PP time in Montreal, in Vancouver he'd be 2nd/3rd pair with zero special teams time, which would cause him to fall off massively and not produce nearly as much. There's also the history with Pettersson, so a pretty easy no to Matheson ever wearing a Canucks jersey just based off of that, let alone the fact that he isn't a fit for this team in the slightest.

How is this Zegras trade still being posted? Just like the other 300 times it’s been proposed, ANA will decline without a second thought
