On paper, it had to happen and at least there’s no salary retention. This team needs more defensive defenseman and a 4 million cap hit for a 3rd liner who isn’t suited to the 3rd line wasn’t going to work. Garland can be effective if he’s not scoring. Pre-cap, you probably get more back. But the fact that they clear that cap space and get a lottery ticket back isn’t bad. On paper, Hronek and Raty for Horvat is still a great trade for Vancouver and you can’t argue with the results. Hronek has been huge for the team at both ends. This is a different situation than 20 years ago. Cap space is like gold. It’s more valuable than an overpaid middle 6 winger. At the deadline if the team is still in a playoff position, they can do something with that space.
I just wished they bumped up Beauvillier's value a bit more before trading him. Having him on the line with EP40 and Kuzmenko for a bit more like last season.
I don't think we should be looking at trade. Ethan bear is good for what we need and is practicing in canucks jersey. It also costs us nothing. Get it done
Good to know the 1st rounder isn't in play, it would be nothing short of fool-hardy to move it for anything other than top-of-the-lineup talent that is in it for the long run

Tanev with the 1940's goalie save
2:06 I'm starting to think Tanev is a bit special. lol

Stop with tanev already he has declined so much it would be another bad trade to get him back.
Good luck in Chicago, Nathan Bolivar!
He's better than a 5th round pick…3rd would've been better.
Atleast we didnt have to throw in a sweetener to get rid of mr invisible. What a lazy player jeesh.
Thanks Rick, I am happy to hear the 1st is not in play.
Yah cuz I much rather have the 1st rounders in our system and not JT Miller and Hronek. Those bums!
The set looks alot better today did they change it
This team should never have turned their back on Tanev. They desperately need a 3-4 spot defenceman, not another 5-8 spot defenceman.
Never looked like a guy that would be here long and they need to be adding #1 picks, not trading them away
I can see the progress in your videos!
Smart of the Canucks to take advantage of the Corey Perry situation.
Too bad they weren’t this smart to take advantage of the Bruce Boudreau screw ups to get Connor Bedard.
please say bye bye to Tyler Myers, a liability

Don’t they need the cap space to afford Petey?

No Tanev guys always hurt when he played for Van
