There were not many options for the Vancouver Canucks, and they miss top assets
Donnie & Bear: Elliote Friedman for the need of Vancouver Canucks and look for a second line. There are not many options that are there and they don’t really have the assets to acquire one because they are not cheap.
Rick Dhaliwal: “That market for second -line centers. (Marco) Rossi again signed in Minnesota. Mason McTavish is still there. Jack Roslovic is still there. What’s going on?
I mean, I mean, Patrick Allvin tried very hard in August to get a second -line center, but there were no dance partners. I mean, first of all they are expensive. It is not cheap and the canucks do not have much cap -space to get that second -line center. “

Friedman: “Well, I think Rick is a lot that we have just talked about in our last answer is exactly the fact that there is only one real seller. I mean, how many teams they are now, do you think, if you have a number two center, see how difficult they become. How many teams want to move one?
And, you know, the other is that the Canucks have closed many deals. You know, they started building them, trying to rebuild their prospect base. You know, the Abbotsford team had a good run last year. But you know, do they have a really top-end prospect or choice that they go to that person who is willing to take or that they want to move, or both in a deal?
You know, I think now, you know, McTavish, I don’t think the ducks want to trade it. I think they want to sign them. I don’t think they want to exchange him, but let’s just do it because of the fight, Rick, if the duck wanted to exchange McTavish, do you think you have the appetite that it needs to get it? “
Dhaliwal: “No.”
Friedman: “Okay, so it’s not even, you know, worth discussing.”
NHL rumors: Oilers know where Connor McDavid is
Dhaliwal: “Yeep.”
Friedman: “You know a man like Jack Roslovic. I think Toronto was looking at him. I think they were potentially looked at him as a wing player on the number one line. I don’t know that someone sees him as the number two center.”
Dhaliwal: “Right.”
Friedman: “So you know, you know, that’s not, that’s not the answer to your problem. For me now, unless Rutherford and Allvin pull something out of their hat that we don’t see, the answer to that number two is probably a while, for a while.
I mean, those guys are hard to find and they are expensive to get. Look, you made a pick in the first round, you have set up a center. It is an organizational need, and that is what you are going, the best way to resolve it is internal, but that is clear, that is a few years away. “
