What about Boeser retained plus Rathbone for Pettersson straight up

absolutely no on the canucks deal. just, no.

We're you guys not just saying that Boeser is bouncing back and going to stay in Vancouver?

As a Pens fan I agree it’s a lot but this is if you get Hanifin, you then have too much money in the defense, and if we believe in POJ to take that step then we use Pettersson as trade bait since that would leave a stacked left side. I don’t think we get rid of Petry or Rutta as much as we want so he’s the odd man out

Canucks fans have been confusing me recently all deadline it was take whatever you can for JT Miller and how he’s a cap problem for years to come to out nowhere saying they want at least 2 1st round picks all because of a rumor offer during the deadline (where prices are crazy inflated)

too much money in the defense isn't a bad thing after the season that defense just had. Keep pettersson and basically look at hanifin as replacing Dumo's cap hit, and i don't think we know if POJ is it. Might be time for a change of scenery.

JT miller @ $8M is terrible.

That’s nowhere close to getting you Noah Hanifin

I would love to keep Boeser but the Canucks have too many wingers so at least one of Boeser, Garland, or Beauvillier has to go. I just figured a retained Boeser would be the most enticing for trade, if the deal could get done with one of the other two I'd do it tho

Just not wise of us at all to trade even one first round pick at this stage. Definitely not two

I don’t think it’s far off

What do you think the Flames could get for Hanifin if he won’t re-sign or it’s a deadline deal?

If Hanifin won’t re-sign or wants too much money, we’ll either do a Sign & Trade this off-season OR Trade him at the Deadline, in which case the return should be the same:

1st + 2nd + 3rd + Top Prospect

Something similar to what Hampus Lindholm brought ANA: 1st+2nd+2nd+TopProspect+Moore, except we likely won’t want or accept a Cap Dump like ANA took in Moore

Something like this seems more appropriate:

1st + 2nd/Poulin + Hallander + POJ

I don’t know a ton about them, but I’m assuming CGY would need to feel Hallander could slide on to the 4th line at LW or C and hopefully become a Defensive Shut Down Forward and Potential Future 3/4C = Backlund Replacement

Not sure about Poulin, as he had a down year, but he’s French, has Good Size and may have upside and more to show given he was a Former 1st Rounder

Depending on whether we keep Zadorov, whether Kylington returns and whether Poirier is ready next season, POJ would be a good replacement player option. Since we already have Poirier, I doubt we’d be interested in Ty Smith, but he’d be another option

Broz (we already have Ruzicka, Zary & Ben Jones), Nylander (not much value given his age and injury history) and Legare (we already have Coronato, Duehr & Schwindt) caught my eyes as well as potential Trade Pieces/Sweeteners the Flames might like as well
