Can the Canucks land another first-round pick?
David Pagnotta from the fourth period: Could the Vancouver Canucks get another first-round pick by trading pending UFA forward Kiefer Sherwood? At the deadline, the Canucks will look to add more assets by moving Evander Kane, Drew O’Connor and Teddy Blueger.
Laurent Brossoit should generate some interest
Ken Wiebe: Would assume there would be some interest in Winnipeg Jets goaltender Laurent Brossoit. He has a cap hit of $3.3 million, but only a salary of $2.3 million. He is a pending UFA.
The Minnesota Wild should go all out this year and show Quinn Hughes that they can compete
Daily confrontation: Tyler Yaremchuk thinks the Minnesota Wild should go all-in this year and give Quinn Hughes some extra incentive to expand with them.
“But if I’m Bill Guerin, this can’t be it for me. You’ve got a year and a half to prove to Quinn Hughes and really prove to everyone that, no, no, we’re a legitimate Stanley Cup contender. We’re capable of making deep, long runs.”
Because you know what, if you make it to the third round, if you make it to the Stanley Cup Final once in the next two years. It will probably become easier to keep Hughes in the mix.
So if you’re Bill Guerin, you have a lot of blue liners. And if you need to free up some cap space, if you want to move a guy like Jacob Middleton, that could be a stretch right now. He makes $4.3 million, and he’ll be on your third pair if he’s healthy.
For example, they have pieces they can move for some upfront help, and that’s where they got a zero in. Like I wouldn’t hold onto any future assets, any prospects, any draft picks, whatever it is, this team now needs to add an impact forward and really, really push all their chips into the middle.
