If the 9th pick is the best thing the Canucks are giving up, that would be a huge steal. Edit-Deal is official. Canucks get OEL (12% retained), Garland Coyotes get Eriksson (0 retention), Roussel, Beagle, 9th overall, 2nd in 2022, 7th in 2023 I think Canucks won this deal big time.

Well atleast in the short perspective I agree. None of the players going from Vancouver are better than the ones arriving. Hard to know what will become of all those picks. Hopefully it will be a more interesting season for nucks fans than the last one was. 😊👍

OEL isn't the player he once was, but will cost them just over a 7m cap hit, and of course will be their best dman.

And Garland could be the best player of the entire deal. Petterson or Horvat on a line with him should be good.

Since July 1, 2015:

- The Canucks have acquired 6 draft picks (no 1st or 2nd rounders)
- The Canucks have traded away 19 draft picks (2 1st rounders, 4 2nds)
- The Canucks have made the playoffs once
- The Canucks have the 28th best record in the NHL

The Coyotes desperately tried to hide OEL from top competition last season. He's a defensive liability that might be passable if paired with a reliable stay-at-home type. Of course, the same could be said for Hughes and Myers, and the Canucks have zero reliable stay-at-home types to pair with them.

I keep hearing that OEL and the Sedins are buddies. I hope to God we aren't going down that road.

Seth Jones to the Hawks in a sign and trade.

Hawks will sign him to an 8 year deal worth 9.5m!

I think Karlsson and Doughty are the only dmen making more.

Honestly, that deal looks perfectly adequate for Vancouver, especially when graded on the Jim Benning curve.

Chicago paid a lot for Jones, especially considering Columbus didn't have much leverage. Boqvist, dropping 20 spots in the first this year, a lottery protected 1st next year and a 2nd is a lot of assets.

Buffalo got a stronger than expected return on Ristolainen. I would have thought Buffalo had long killed his value.

Devils get another Hughes.

Canucks better hope Quinn doesn't just walk when he can.

So the Oilers, who haven't had the best history with goalies, are on the clock. The best player available? The top goalie who was projected to go in the lottery.

So Oilers draft him right? Nope, they trade DOWN.
