We are at effectively the midway point of the season and there had yet to be a trade of a player making more than $2.2m a year since the season began (Ethan Bear and even then it was a retained salary transaction).

By my count only 6 active NHLers have changed hands:
Klim Kostin
Jack Studnicka
Ethan Bear
Ryan Reaves
Conor Timmins
Dryden Hunt

Something needs to be done, this is getting stupid.

It’s funny how often players request trades and then just have to suck it up and keep playing for the org because nobody wants to trade “due to the salary cap” for the last like 10 years lol

One of Chychrun’s biggest assets as a trade target was all the years you’d get him at a $4mil cap hit, by the time he finally gets traded the team acquiring him will get a year and a halfs worth of him at that price before paying him big

Halfway through the season and they're 10 points out of a wildcard. Surely, now, if anything, is the time to throw in the towel, trade Horvat, Kuzmenko, Boeser, Garland, somehow attach Myers and maybe even Miller to one of the deals and *tank* hard. With a decent effort, they should be able get 4th spot.

Insane how the Canucks have handled this so poorly that the coach of a team that's out of playoff contention by January has the full sympathy of the fanbase and the media. It should have been the easiest thing in the world to fire Boudreau the right way.

Yeah, JR saying they’ve been looking for a new coach for 2+ months now is bush league, last weekend Elliotte Friedman all but announced Rick Tocchet’s the next Canucks coach….what’s the hold up?

"veteran Canuck Curtis Lazar" says a lot

I’ve come to begrudgingly respect forwards like Lazar that provide no offense at all, are nothing special defensively but can win 53% of their faceoffs so every coach he plays for has a bottom-6 centre role for him. Objectively the team would probably be better playing an AHLer in his spot but there he is night after bight, logging minutes

Ottawa has Dylan Gambrell who scored on his first shift of the season and hasn’t had a point in the 27 games since. Not fast, can’t handle the puck and doesn’t play an overly physical game, must be good in the locker room?
