<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DQavis</b></div><div>At this point probably no with caufield having a down shooting % year which tanks his production as hes a sniper then ya raymonds better. But caufield is still becoming a complete player and is still a top sniper in the league even with a low s%.
And i would value them the same like of they werent working out for there teams a 1 for 1 would seem fair.</div></div>

This isn’t even really a criticism of Caufield. Raymond’s development in the last year has been absurd.

Started the season 12 pounds heavier and a clear step ahead of where he was last season. He’s a rare case I can recall (From players I track regularly at least) where you can literally see his progression over the season.

Wouldn’t trade him 1 for 1 for Caufield ever. Larkin getting injured was Raymond’s coming out party.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GuyGuyGuy</b></div><div>Mikheyev is a fourth liner. He is bad and a huge cap dump. Anderson is a fourth liner who is also a huge cap dump.

Suter can be easily replaced in FA.

So when Mikheyev has an ACL injury, his value is still good, but when Dach has one, that destroys his value? Coming back from an injury is a normal thing in this league</div></div>

It is a trade that makes no sense for either party.

A couple of counter points
First Mik is not a 4th line player, he played last year on the 1st line with a torn ACL and then the recovery time to full speed is 18 months so we wont see that this year.
Second Suter can't be easily replaced in FA for his cap hit, he is averaging the 5th most ice time for the Canucks forwards, you are not filling that for 1.6M.
Last on the counter points you're trying to compare Dach to Mik which a) I don't think are the two guys you should be comparing and b) as an off season trade you're now talking about a fully healed Mik and Dach wh still wont be up to speed until April 2025 and his injury was a full tear of the ACL and MCL which is more serious.


Forget about the fact that Canucks lose 2 guys that are versatile and have regularly played games in the top 6 and kill penalties and are on the PP and have been successful playing in the bottom 6.
Even if you look at it and see that for next year Dach for Suter is a wash and Mik for Anderson is a wash the Canucks are still giving up a prospect but that probably doesn't matter next year, except its another asset they don't have for the future.
Forget that because more importantly the Canucks as they are trying to build a contender this trade has them take on more cap and take on an extra year of Anderson's contract.

And it is a bad trade for the Habs because you take the bet 7 days a week that Dach will have a better future than Suter long term.

So to conclude Dach for Suter is a huge risk for the Canucks as Dach is over twice as expensive and coming off a major injury and a bad trade for the Habs because Dach is the younger player with potentially more upside.
Mik for Anderson is a bad trade for the Canucks because it adds an extra year of term, but honestly not a bad bet for the Habs and it adds a special teams guy.
Canucks lose a prospect that could be used in a trade that would help them now.

NO!<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GuyGuyGuy</b></div><div>I’d be really interested in a guy like Tyler Seguin. Great player but he is overpaid. I would offer something like Kovacevic and a third rounder</div></div>

Logan Couture would be the best option as a number 2C for 2-3 years if they cant sign Monahan in the offseason or trade for a Lundell type after the Sharks dumped Hertl. SJS should be willing to give up Logan for little with that cap hit. They DONT have to dump him but if they can get anything at all they should as they did with Hertl. SJS are starting from scratch and they are 2-3 years behind the Habs rebuild. A 2nd and a 3rd would be more than enough and the Habs have 12 picks in 1st 3 rounds the next 2 drafts.
