Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Dear Canucks Fans,

I understand your desire for a rebuild, I really do, however you need to keep in mind that your team has VERY FEW trading assets. I think Hansen is very tradeable because he's versatile, and cheap. Burrows MIGHT be tradeable, granted you take a cap dump back. Miller could be tradeable at 50% retention if theres a major injury that can afford his cap.

However no team wants any of the following: Eriksson, Sutter, Dorsett, or Sbisa unless you're taking back a worse contract.

Sedin's can be traded next year at 50% retention at the deadline and get a good package, you'll probably be stuck with Eriksson for awhile, and although he's not bad, his contract will start to hurt.

You could dismantle your D core, but in honesty its not bad, You have a workable top 4 for the future (Edler, Tanev, Gudbranson and Hutton). However you could get a really good return for some of these players.

You're remaining forwards are all pretty young and it would be a good idea to let them get some good ice time to figure out what you have already.

I would say I wish you guys a quick rebuild, but I don't mean that, you spent many years going to the cup final and deep playoff runs, might be some turmoil for some years, especially given ownership doesn't want a rebuild.
