Another worthless article. I would be fine with Benson or Leaonard. Michkov would be a huge mistake. Soft, small, and a complete floater. Add on the Russian factor and he is a weird little flake, hard pass

They would need to take Boeser

They don't have the cap room.

I haven't gone into their LTIR but Hanifin has a 4.9 mil hit and the team has 1.2 mil in cap space so total 6.1 in cap room and Boeser is 6.5. They only have 18 contracts signed so Boeser would not fit.

Zach Benson 5'10, nope.

We could always eat some of his contract?

I also hate smurfs…but the kid is pretty damn skilled. If you bring in Benson and toss Garland and Your boy Nils B!tch it could work

Like this?

They still have to sign five more players. They can not afford and more importantly DONT WANT Boeser.

They are looking at buyouts on Toffoli and a few other names.

This is another option also, I heard teams like the Leafs are looking at buying out Brodie and McCabe. I might look at something like that to fill in short term. There will be a few teams looking to dump salary so there might be some good bargains and no need to jump on Hanifin.

I think you are going to see Nils have a different role this year. He will be a playmaker not a scoring winger. Give the kid one more look, he does have skill.

But that’s the point. If calgary wants a high pick for a player with no control they have to take some trash they don’t want

Listen, if you’re not six foot plus the team shouldn’t even be looking at you. If you wanna win you’ve gotta compete with the heavy teams not only in your division but in your conference.

He’s the one forward I don’t mind being shorter because he’s a hard worker, he’s fit, and he’s a good puck retrieval guy. He just sucked defensively, which they worked on with him.

Not going to happen if they don't have money.

I give him a month before someone puts the little smurf on LTIR.

Aka weaponizing cap if teams need relief

Whatever. Good, I don’t want to trade with Calgary it was your idea

Zach Benson 5'10, nope.

Even if you are 100% drafting for need, there isn't a team that doesn't need this kids skill. Elite play making... elite defensive game... great wheels... controls the flow of the game. In a average draft he probably goes top 2....

If he's that good he won't fall that far right?

Right... Canucks couldn't compete with Bedard on the team because he 5'10".


Idiot.

If your drafting for need, you probably aren't looking for another undersized skilled Left Winger. We filled that need last draft with our 1st rounder.

Exception to the rule. I think he’ll be an NHL winger though. Rather have Fantilli or Carlsson.

Apparently Allvin is very high on Carlsson. That would be something!
