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.

Wait, that third line is supposed to be good (top 9)?
And I sure as hell hope JB isn't done yet!
Edit: and wow that first pairing is going to bleed goals out the wazoo. Hughes was minus-what, last year? And OEL is a huge liability in a larger role.. to be paired with defense-Neal?
