“I don’t. I’d be so surprised. Think of the best case. The best option on this list.”
Most likely if any of them would be Oliver Ekman Larson.
I project Matt Murray Going to LTIR. John Tavares Not going anywhere.
Michael Granlund It doesn’t really make much sense. I think they are better off trying to trade it in, even if they have to give something away than buying it.
Jack Campbell do not go anywhere. If the Oilers are smart they will rehabilitate him.
Barclay GoodrowThe juice isn’t really worth squeezing.
Mike Riley, don’t think so. They will only hide it if they need to.
And Mike HoffmanCanadians are trying to move, I’m told, but they’re not going to pay too much for doing so.”
Tyler Yaremchuk: “Buying out Oliver Ekman-Larson would also be a split cost of about $500,000… $300,000 to $600,000 a year goes to the Arizona Coyotes and the Canucks obviously eat the bulk of that.”
Can the Blackhawks and Canucks trade first-round picks?
Scott Powers of The AthleticThe Chicago Blackhawks may want to go from 19th overall in the first round of the 2023 NHL Draft, but it won’t be easy. Even if they were to collect a second-round pick or two, getting into the top 15 might not be possible.
The Vancouver Canucks are drafting at #11 and they might be the only team the Blackhawks make to trade.
If the Blackhawks pack their No. 19, a second-round pick and get a contract the Canucks are trying to move, it could work out for both sides.
For those who hope so Patrick Kane And Jonathan Toews It could come back next season now that they’ve got Connor Beddard, it’s not going to happen.
The Blackhawks will hear from teams who will attach a draft or prospect to the contract they want to transfer.
They could be looking to re-sign some of their free agents, maybe even Andreas Athanasio. would like to bring Max Domi Again but it will probably get more terms in the open market.
