Lmao. Come on man. I would make this trade with a gun to my head
Good thing your not the Canucks GM then. This package is horrible unless it was for Hughes alone. Demko + Joshua + 2nd on top of Hughes is a severe underpayment.
Hughes would cost 4+ 1sts if he were traded (Savoie + Benson + Rosen + 1st)
UPL holds 0 trade value and less than 0 to the Canucks. Oft injured 24 year old goalie, waivers eligible, signed to a 925k 1 way deal, likely still an AHL starter (if that) quality goalie that has put up marginal numbers in the AHL and NHL. Statistically speaking, the last 3 years in a row, he's been at best the 3rd best goalie on his AHL team. He cant even outplay the likes of Michael Houser, Malcom Subban, Andrew Hammond, Jonas Johansson, and Aaron Dell in the AHL. None of those goalies are NHL caliber, and only 2 are even AHL starter material. Silovs is likely a better goalie prospect at this point given age, injury history and level of play. UPL likely clears waivers or your forced to carry 3 goalies if you dont want to risk losing him for nothing.
Olofsson has 0 value around the league at the moment and to the Canucks. They already have 3 4M+ wingers that arent moveable in the NHL at the moment. No need to add to their abundance of wingers, especially 1 that cant be flipped.
