Team: 2024-25 Vancouver Canucks

Initial Creation Date: Jun. 12, 2024

Published: Jun. 13, 2024

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Notes:

Guentzel is the top-line winger the Canucks need to round out their top 6 pairs and he'd be a great fit for Petterson. Have him at 9x7 but there is additional cap space to bump that to 9.5m if needed.

Mikheyev to CHI is an example. Could be to another team as well as needs to reach the cap floor and is looking for a serviceable middle 6 winger with speed and who is defensively responsible. Figure a 3rd is fair but honestly, he could go for a 4th or 5th without retention.

Hronek is going to be too expensive for VAN to retain. Have a trade with NASH here but could be any team looking for a top 4 RD who is still only 26 yrs old. The idea to for VAN to recoup the picks they lost to get him and potentially use the extra picks with the extra cap space to make trade(s) during the season.

Stenlund adds some size, defensive responsibility and PK ability in the bottom 6. Blueger re-signed as as the 3C.

Dillon, Chatfield, Tanev, and Myers signed shorter terms to round out the D and maintain size in the backend. Hughes wanted Tanev back during the deadline this season and Tanev has always loved Vancouver. Dillion has also been open to coming to VAN and Chatfield, a former Canuck, is someone who I can see the team being interested in.

Podz and Karlsson are part of the internal youth movement.
