Gross overvalue of rentals with zero consideration for cap

Vancouver isn't paying that much to upgrade on wing.

Canucks decline. Don't have the cap space to afford Marner, and winger is the last position we need to be looking to upgrade. Also not moving those picks either, our prospect pool is already one of the weakest in the league.

This site is hilarious, it's going to be 2 years of hearing how Nylander, Matthews and Marner have no value.

Right now Los Angeles has 19 players under contract for 2023-2024 not including any of the four shown in this trade (so that they don't currently count against our cap). The aggregate cap hit for those 19 players is $77 million. Adding Matthews and Nylander at 50% brings us to $85.3 million, with two roster slots open, and every time we sell a player to cut cap, we create another roster hole. So this deal, just like every other Toronto-star-to-Los-Angeles trade, creates a game of Sui-Whack-A-Mole.
