Elias Pettersson is a very good player, and Vancouver doesn't want anything to do with Jamie Benn.

The Canucks will get better offers for EP even without an extension built in.

Take out Benn and then add more

Honestly as a Canucks fan I don’t completely hate this deal. Hintz is a great replacement 1C, and Stankoven looks great as well. Obviously wouldn’t want to take back Benn but if we get compensated for it then it’s bearable

Calgary and Vancouver both decline these lowball offers.

Even if you took out Benn, I wouldn't do that if I were Dallas.

Hintz vs. Pettersson straight up is legitimately close and the cap difference honestly might give the edge to Roope. That and Stankoven may be the best prospect in the game.

I think this is actually quite a good offer when I look at it. Hintz can replace a good chunk of Pettersson's production at the 1C, and Stankoven is pretty much a lock to be a top 6 forward in a year or two. Benn isn't too great with his contract, but given the deal would take place in the offseason he'd only have 1 year left, which really minimizes that aspect. Maybe we could re-route the 2nd we're getting to a 3rd team to get like $3M retention on Benn, which would also leave us the cap space to comfortably extend Lindholm without losing all our depth (Petey to Hintz saves $4M-$5M, Garland to Benn at $6.5M loses $1.5M, total savings $2.5M-$3.5M). Would leave us something like:

Benn - Miller - Boeser
Hoglander - Hintz - Lindholm
Stankoven - Suter - Mikheyev
Di Giuseppe - Aman - Lafferty/Joshua

replace stranges with Bourque and maybe ur close
