Équipe: 2022-23 Canucks de Vancouver

Date de création initiale: 3 août 2022

Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

1) ARZ trade;
The Yotes take on Poolman's contract and get a young forward that could join their top six group in the next year or two. Poolman could play a depth role for them if they still plan to move Chychrun. VAN clears a bit of vital cap space by using its surplus forward depth as currency.

2) NJD trade;
Done to death on this site, Miller trades for a RHD are nothing new. But if VAN wants to compete they need to acquire one that will immediately help them, and Severson fits the bill. Added Walsh and a 2nd to make up the value difference, and hopefully Walsh would be ready to join the big club in 2023 or do spot duty for injuries this season. Haggle about the pick if you want but I think Severson and Walsh would be a solid base for a return in a Miller deal if Severson will extend.

3) One more value UFA signing;
I chose Steel here mostly because of his age, but it could be any useful UFA that is starting to get nervous about being unsigned and wants to ink a value deal. Maybe Motte comes back if the price is right?


Losing Miller is a big blow to the team's competitiveness, but this roster has much better balance and room to extend all of Horvat, Severson and Kuzmenko next year if they want to.
