Let allvin cook…
I trust the Chef but my God does « 2nd round as a sweetener » give me Bim Jenning flashbacks
Alvin stir that pot💪🏽
Would give us a tremendous amount of cap space, if this does happen also wouldn’t be shocked to see a Zadorov re-signing shortly.
Bedard to the Canucks, you heard it here first
Chicago sure loves taking our cap dumps. Dickinson, Beauvillier and now Mikheyev
Going back as far as I can remember, this team REALLY hates 2nd round picks
All depends on what they do with this space.
They really need to find a way to start recouping some picks though, because they don’t have many bullets left.
LFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Good we needed that cap space
C’mon PTBNL
This is all Dan Milstein. Big Z is coming back
i am okay with a second going out.
if ilya leaves, you can keep zadorov AND dakota. a 2nd at best gives you only one nhl player and at worst it’s a complete wash. if the window is within the next 3-4 years, that 2nd just isn’t going to give you that much value.
Guentzel pretty much confirmed if Mik is gone.
Gaining 4.75m for two years is big, all for going all in on guentzel to make a real run for it while Miller is at his best and Hughes is on a steal of a contract
They took beauvilier last season too
Good. We’re going to need the cap space to sign Bedard.
It depends on what we use with that money. If you view it as Guentzel for a 2nd, or Tanev, etc. then it’s really not too bad.
Steve Yzerman set the market with that 2nd rounder yesterday, and we have to pay extra [Lafferty] because Mikheyev’s caphit is higher.
Time to buy a Zadorov jersey
Seth Jones be like 👀
This needed to happen. We need to keep improving the roster and Mikheyev became a major problem. Now they have the space to sign Joshua and Zadorov.
Bedard for mik, Ballard, and a second
#Return for Canucks: 4th round pick in 2027
It’s the 2025 2nd obviously going to Chicago

This franchise hates 2nd round picks.
This one might’ve worth it but damn.
A lot of people here overvalue second round picks. Only about 15% of them even play 200 games in the NHL. And the ones who do, are often fighting just to get to that games played mark and are far from an impact player.
If you can trade that slim chance as a sweetener that lets you free up $5m cap space in order to land an actual impact player like Guentzel, then it’s a no-brainer.
I’m not saying the pick is worthless, either. I’m saying that on balance the expected value of it is worth more by trading it than drafting with it.
Allvin is the fucking man
If you lose zadorov and/or Joshua you are spending a second rounder at the trade deadline to try to get a similar player that fits their mold so why not just do it now with players we know fit and want to be here
This makes them have less picks to offer for a player at the trade deadline.
I will let my man cook. He’s never doubted me before
Bedard right? someone tell me Bedard.
Future Considerations, YOU WILL WEAR NUMBER 65!
Honestly, this is the least impressive draft class that I can remember in recent years. Plus this management group has shown they can draft good players in later rounds like Brzustewicz, Mynio, Pettersson, Young, etc so I’m not too worried.
LET
HIM
COOK
I’ll have the omakase, Chef Allvin!
LET HIM COOK
Make mistake. Fix mistake. Part of business. Alvin is cooking!
Oh my god I’ll never have to see top6 Lafferty again. This is my Christmas.
Wish it worked out better with Mikheyev, and it wouldn’t surprising if he turned things around in Chicago. This being said, I don’t have any complaints. I continue to be impressed with how this management group moves on quickly from players who don’t have a fit.
Awesome. Swapping a 2nd for a 4th and nearly 5m in cap space is solid value. UFA day is going to be exciting for the first time in a while.
