Dude: Remember the JT Miller for a first, Filip Chytil and Nils Lundkvist from the Rangers you wanted? Dallas didn't qualify Lundkvist and now he's UFA. Do you think the Canucks should bite since he's free for the taking? He's small, poor defensively and comes across as a spoiled brat. What's not to like?

I’ve made several adjustments regarding anything associated with JT Miller. Not my greatest moments. I was hoping nobody would notice

We still need D.

And a back up.

Work to do yet.

I like that we took their biggest defenseman.

I don't know why people think DeBrusk is going to be a for sure thing on Pettersson's wing. I personally don't see that working. DeBrusk has played with 2-way, 200 foot, all-in, linemates for most of his career in Boston.....while there's a chance he becomes a 25-30 goal winger when paired with someone who has Pettersson's hockey IQ, I really just don't think this pans out as "the fix" with Pettersson.

Also, is Jiri Patera our new backup?

We are projecting negative cap right now, not sure if that's factoring Poolman or not. Moving Aman or Di Giuseppe to the AHL will get us under the bar with 13F and 8D.

Capfriends has the Canucks having a 24 man roster with negative 500k cap space, not including Poolman’s LTIR. Cap is fine.
