Ideally I would like them to get a physical defender who can handle the teams top opposition.
Edler is going to likely begin to decline rapidly and will retire soon. There is going to be cap space coming off the back end soon so I think it is possible to bring another solid d-man somewhat soon.
We lost some defenders to free agency as well so imo shoring up the defense is a bigger worry.
Still have a dream of getting Cernak somehow lol. He would fit in well.
If Benning offer sheets and acquires cernak, he will forever be #1 gm for lolnucks in my eyes. I don't care what he does after, he will get my #1 for having the ballllz to do it lmao
Cernak would make the Canucks so much more insane on the back end.
Hughes cernak
Edler schmidt
Juolevi/Rathbone - benn
I have high hopes for Rathbone, I don't mind if he spends a year in the AHL for more development but... Idk if there will be AHL to do so. Fox, molino etc. All had no problems adjusting to the NHL, so I don't think Rathbone would either, especially when his skating is one of his main asset.
Tryamkin replaces Benn or edler for the next season, if edler decides to retire. I think he still has some play left in his tank surprisingly he has been playing really well the last couple years rather than declining.
