So doing some net surfing to try and find out more about this the rumour going right now is that the Canucks are expecting: retained salary and one of Sutter or Eriksson going the other way. Eriksson is actually really appealing to the Coyotes because his cap hit is high but his actual owed dollars is low.
What the Coyotes are expecting is cheap, young players who can play now. So Gaudette, Motte, Virtanen or even a Juolevi.
The length and number of the OEL contract is gross. Legit gross. Anything outside of 50% cap number retained is just a deal breaker for me.

Juolevi's development was severely stalled by injuries.
