Plus the chance of a Finnish GM trading the 3rd overall pick is slim to none.

Maybe the families are neighbors and don't get along.

Edit: Edmonton's picking Chychrun cause they need D, so turns out we're getting one of the Finn's afterall!!!

Today @ 5:15 PM ET
Columbus is fairly close to the cap for next year and still have to re-sign Seth Jones. So why don't we offer to help them out?

To Vancouver:
Scott Hartnell 34 LW $4.75MM
David Savard 25 RD $4.25MM
3OA for 2016


To Columbus:
Linden Vey 24 C $1.1MM (qualifying offer) (McCann)
Andrey Pedan 22 LD $900K (qualifying offer)
5OA
Torts Compensation (2nd Rounder 16/17/18)

Columbus can justify this as only moving down 2 spots in the draft while picking up over $6MM in cap space, getting younger, gaining another really good offensive center, plus their 2nd pick back. (Softens the blow a bit if they end up firing Torts sooner rather than later).

Canucks move up two spots in the draft and get a RHD with some offensive upside. They also get a bigger body to add to their forwards who's first name isn't Milan and comes at least $1MM cheaper than the oft-mentioned neanderthal.

We don't need to move up to pick the highest ranked dmen.

I think the reference was for Savard being RHD...

They move up two draft spots to pick one of the big Finn's and get RHD Savard in the trade. Not moving up to pick a RHD.

Savard isnt necessarily eating a contract, hes 25 years old. And Hartnell's is the shortest of their bad contracts at a reasonable price (for a bad contract). I would rather take him on than Dubinsky, Clarkson or Foligno until 2021

I agree with the other guys, they arent going to involve the 3rd pick without clearing major cap space. Thats the trade off, you cant entice them to take 4-5 guy in Sbisa with a 3.6M salary, Hansen's 2.5M and expect a top draft pick back. CBJ would rather buyout salaries or move valuable guys like Atkinson or Calvert for 3rd-4th rounders and clear $5m in salary than give up top 3.

U forgot McCann who is a true asset.
CBJ is not deep at C.
As for buyouts neither team likes to do that.
Sbisa can be removed & replaced but CBJ is not deep in D.
But we get a logjam on D in your scenario.
I see us needing to move a D.

That's why we would be sending Pedan.

I don't see him in demand other than at the TDL at best.
7th D for us cuz cannot be waived.

So you can see there's no point even considering the re-signing of Hamhuis, right?
