apparently Canuck players are excited with this deal.
rag on JB all you want, he did exactly what he said he would do. Acquire a 3rd line center (Dickinson) top 6 forward (Garland) and a top 4 defenceman in OEL.
The Canucks are also moving Holtby and Schmidt and a possible Virtanen buyout to create more cap space too.
Miller - Pettersson - Boeser
Hoglander - Horvat - Garland
Pearson - Dickinson - Podkolzin
Motte - Highmore - MacEwen
Hughes - OEL
Rathbone - Myers
Juolevi - Hamonic??
that is a solid lineup SO FAR, JB is not done yet.

A dman who could easily bounce back?
I can be convinced that OEL might be better in Vancouver than Arizona, but you are hoping a 30+ player will bounce back after 3 really bad seasons.
At best you'll get a 1 year dead cat bounce.
And that's a terrible defensive dman core.
