Pat Verbeek passes, Detroit beats that offer and doesn't need retention on Vatrano. Detroit is listed as the front runner for him.

Canucks are not going after Vatrano.
If I was Vancouver, I would trade a first-round 2025 pick, a second-round 2026 pick, and Aatu Raty in exchange for Tarasenko (OTT retains 50%).

I feel like that’s decent value for Vatrano. But probably not enough for ANA to actually pull the trigger

Indeed — don’t think Raty gets it done

I have to say that Staois should take that and run.

Pettersson (the defenseman) is a helluva nice looking prospect. Soup has a lot.of energy.

Really a solid offer that shouldn't be passed up.

But Vatrano is a pipe dream. If Detroit is in the running, Solderblom is very likely going the other way, and he checks off every Verbeek box.

Yeah I kinda feel like the response to this would be “thank you. We’ll pass, but appreciate you coming forth with a very respectable offer”

Im a big fan of D petterson, great prospect, size and grit etc. But what a nightmare itll be if we have 2 Elias Pettersons on the team lol

It may confuse a few American play-by-play guys🤣🤣

hahah exactly, it was kind of funny when they drafted him but now that D petey is progressing well i could actually see a day where they do end up playing together. One of them is going to need a weird nickname thats for sure. Petey and Peter maybe? lol confusing

Sure but you can take out the second

Right.
Nevermind.
Without the second-round 2026 pick, I think this Vancouver-Ottawa trade could work.

Not sure who your gonna keep with Petty Lindholm and hronek getting raises. Tarasenko might like Vancouver for his kids to play hockey there.

Interesting.
You make a good point.

with ILYA MIKHEYEV in the deal OTT declines
