Why would Vancouver spend assets on Henrique? They're not buyers

Half tank of gas is expensive now

Mate, we were only swapping Vatrano for Mantha if we got paid with Iorio, otherwise there's no sense in the deal.

I also don't think Leo makes the lineup, so we will need Henrique at 3C.

Laugh if you want but I think they're a playoff team and a 3C would help.

VAN would definitely be interested in shedding cap and adding a 3C, so you're on the right track with this deal. Not sure they'd want to give up a 2nd and a decent prospect for this one though. Linus had a good year of development, but I'm not sure he's quite ready for the NHL. I'd love to be pleasantly surprised on that though.

But paying a 2nd round pick for a 33 year old? Maybe at the deadline if Henrique doesn't regress, but right now that's a hell of a lot of risk for a team that could easily find itself in the basement again
