I promise there is a world where all of this makes sense

Team: 2023-24 Vancouver Canucks

Initial Creation Date: Jun. 14, 2023

Published: Jun. 16, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

I haven't been making realistic rosters recently, so lets stick to that trend. Basically tick off all the boxes for a successful post season for the nucks

-Move out OEL and Myers
-Revamp D core, try and get a partner for Hughes
-Refuel prospect pool from stacked draft by landing as many early picks as possible
-Draft a RHD
-Draft a Swede
-Acquire a centerman who's a PK specialist
-Fit under salary cap

As always, there's a bit of praying involved with these moves, like Chicago being desperate enough for a top end pick while also meeting the demand of the cap floor, a GM actually wanting Myers, Boston being desperate enough to shed cap that they'd trade Carlo, Carlo waiving his M-NTC if Vancouver's on it, Silvos playing at WC caliber, Compher not extending, and a whole lot of avoiding injuries. All things considered, Vancouver has themselves a crazy amount of demands to meet if they want to be good, while having very few assets to facilitate, so if they can in fact close out any of these moves, they're at least making some form of progress. Best case scenario this team is still a wildcard team, worst case, everything falls apart and they look no better than where they started, but hey, what do they have to lose?
