Addresses the 2 biggest playoff needs. Big mean dman and a Big C that can play up and down the lineup, and in all situations. Monahan is UFA so no retention next year unless he signs cheap, and Jackeye is a monster kid that is cost controlled.

I like the kid and he is 22. He could be mentored by Zadorov. One thing I like about big Z is his swagger. Dresses for success and answers the bell. Something this team hasn't had for years.

Bring this kid in and sign him under a mil for 3 years and let him grow. I really think Canucks are going to have a new look next year. A lot of players on the move.

Fair, the player made the choice there, but at the time a lot of people were saying they made out really well on the trade with what they got in return. It all promptly turned to shit though

I liked Weegar & his resigning but 10.5m for a winger who did it for Florida he could only live up to that. It had no upside in the slightest.

Big mean D is already in place. He’s not exactly an improvement & ready for these playoffs. Depth yes

We are already down Soucy, 1 more injury and then....

I think Allvin would trade him before he ever signed him to a 1 year deal. His value would lessen if he's just walking himself into FA. Trading him lets another team try to sign him to a long term contract.

I think Petey does a 4 year deal. Sort of ties him to this core. Lets him get another massive contract at 29 – either still with the Canucks or as a UFA at that point.

- NewYorkNuck

That would be fine. It would carry him through the cup window that appears to be opening.

Who's available around pick 50-60? That's where we can expect Van to make their first pick.
- NorthNuck

Only if trading down from the 1st round. We’ve no 2nd this draft.

Fair enough. Your points are valid about the one year deal.

100%
The kid has hands the size of Lefty's chubby head, and can skate. Work with that.

Great add for the playoffs, problem at least in Calgary was he didn’t stop speaking.

I can't say I have enjoyed a Canucks D like this in years. Big and tough and there is definitely skill in the other end also.

I was embarrassed at the start of the year when Juulsen sucked and I was pumping his tires in the summer. He is now playing where I thought his level was at. I would say the same about XHEKAJ. Proper coaching and this kid will be a very good add.

I like that in a player. JTM is never shy to call people out.

"Get up you're embarrassing yourself "to Juolevi was my favorite.

Trading away a top 10 forward is never a good idea. Look what happened to Calgary.

It's so insane to consider moving your best forward while the team is in 1st place in the league

Hard to argue with this.
