What Vancouver Canucks’ perfect 2023 NHL trade deadline could look like

New York Times  

Perfection is unattainable in the NHL. Treat expiring restricted free agents like unrestricted free agents It’s not enough for the Canucks to just take care of the obvious trades before the deadline. Pursuing the ‘get out of LTI’ route could limit the Canucks’ ability to extract value at the deadline, and one suspects the club might be better off instead leaning into the skid. With Horvat, the Canucks have a trade chip that can realistically net a conditional first-round pick that’s say top-20 or top-25 protected and can roll over unprotected in 2024. Obviously, the club would love to shed additional long-term cap commitments — like finding a Brock Boeser trade, or a taker for Myers — ahead of the March 3 deadline, and that would be fantastic, but it’s going to be extraordinarily difficult to execute.

Why a quiet NHL trade deadline for goalies sets up for a summer of big ‘hunting’

New York Times  

The goalie trade market looked promising heading into this year’s deadline. “It’s an opportunity to set ourselves up this summer to have the cap space for a position of need, and to be quite honest, big-game hunting.” With Vanecek’s $3.4 million cap hit off the books, the Devils are incredibly lean in the crease moving forward, which is exactly what …
