NHL trade rumors are making the rounds that the Vancouver Canucks could package up forward Anthony Beauvillier, prospect Jacob Truscott and the 2024 fourth round pick.

The Columbus Blue Jackets would send stay-at-home defenseman Andrew Peeke while saving the Canucks $1.4 million in salary cap space.

Uhh

I'm actually excited for boeser, instead of wasting his off season Chillin in da beauty league, he hired a new trainer. I think Tocchet recommended him a program to follow. Boeser always looked big, but I feel like if he slims down he would look so much better.

Beau situation is kind of awkward cuz alvin/Jr specifically targeted him as a player coming back from horvat trade. He plays the type of game that would excel under tocchets system. Also a Middle winger that can eventually replace Pearson. However he's taking up too much cap space to be ineffective in the bottom 6 role. He's great with petey and kuzzy, but doesn't make that line any better. I think Tochett doesn't favor him like he does with pdg and Podkolzin either. Right type of player, but in the dog house.

was looking at the RFA list here - https://www.capfriendly.com/rfas seems like a couple players could be targeted for offer sheets
$1,415,740 or less No compensation
$1,415,741 to $2,145,061 Third-round pick
$2,145,062 to $4,290,125 Second-round pick
$4,290,126 to $6,435,186 First and third-round picks

capfriendly says rangers have 2.2M with lafrenier as an RFA a team could offer him like 3-4m and try to steal him for a 2nd rounder or force the rangers to trade out cap and overpay him

edmonton in a similar situation with bouchard i haven't seen him play much but 18mins toi with 40 points that's looking like a 23 year old RHD 2nd pair guy
oilers only got 3.5 if a team offered something like 4ish oilers could be forced to figure something out

calen addison 23 year old RHD 16min toi 29 pts have no idea who this is but the wild have 1.6m cap space atm

i know its "bad mannered" but there seems like some pretty decent RFA out there that could potentially be yoinked for very reasonable picks I kind of wish we saw more offer sheets
teams could likely trade players out to clear cap but they might have to pay which adds more complications too if your one of the teams with cap offering maybe throw a 2nd offer like if you want to keep him give us this player and this pick to clear the space :evil:

Why has Anaheim not signed Zegras or Drysdale? It's not like they have cap issues. Seems weird.

Anyone heard about the drama biz from podcast said Babcock made his players airplay their phones so he can look through their pictures and get to know them.

Then hours later, bab and Boone both released a statement responding to the accusation lol

cuz it got circulated in the Spittin Chiclets podcast and Biz made it sound like it was this weird controlling thing. Even tho it's Babcock Biz made it sound like he was going around players' phones like a parent would trying to find out whether their kids were doing drugs lol
