Jim Rutherford makes his moves early. The Canucks need a puck-moving defender, and the Flames and Canucks have a recent history of trades. The Canucks could easily afford the approximate value of a 1st and 2 2nds, as they have a 1st in the next 3 drafts and a 2nd in the next 2 drafts.
Rasmus Andersson for 2025 1st + Aatu Raty + 2027 3rd.
(In my opinion, Raty is worth more than a 2nd. He’s a centre. He’s a 2021 2nd, so he’s from Coronato’s draft, not too old. He put up good numbers in the AHL last year, and he’s looked impressive in the young stars’ games. So, I’ve put him in and put the second draft pick as a 3rd instead of a 2nd.)
And then if the Canucks want retention or for the Flames to take a contract, that would cost more.
