<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Koskinen_The_Great</b></div><div>You cant nitpick whom is a good fit at 3C, Granlund isnt even my idea in this thread but i agree with it because its not the real issue here. I think the priority for the Canucks is cap flexibility not finding a temp solution in the 3 hole. No trade fixes every issue in the org which a lot ppl here have a hard time understanding otherwise that other Nucks fan in here wouldnt reject every trade which he laughably does time in and time out. Its a piece of the puzzle. Its generally said as taking a loss now for a win later on.</div></div>

Agreed on most of your points, a lot of people are very short sighted and don't look 2, 3, 4 moves down the road. This trade doesn't immediately solve our main issues? Bad trade.

That said, flexibility is still one of the goals for the Canucks going into free agency, but it's far less critical now after the OEL buyout. Prior to that, I could see giving up Garland for peanuts. Pens may not be a great fit now that the Canucks aren't over the barrel and no longer need to dump a winger for nothing.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bogdown</b></div><div>Like the ideas but don’t like the free agent signings. Think this team needs to spend less and trust the young guys more. Maybe one of two depth PK guys like Motte or Hathaway for cheap, but Aman and Joshua have been good. Mikkola is no better than Wolanin, Rathbone, or Brisebois. Garland would probably get dealt before Boeser.</div></div>

Appreciate the response. I'm not 100% sold on these FA's being the solution and wouldn't be opposed to having some of the younger guys take bigger roles.

We have a huge hole to plug at 3C, and there aren't many attractive options available. Maybe we could go the trade route there.

We're also in desperate need of upgrades in the top-4 at LD and RD. Thankfully there are actually several FA options there who would be a huge upgrade over Myers and OEL. Gavrikov, Graves, Mayfield, Severson, Soucy, etc. Lots of combinations that could work.
