HOW VANCOUVER CANUCKS CAN WIN THEIR FIRST STANLEY CUP

 The Vancouver Canucks have been flat-out terrible this season, and they are far from being a Stanley Cup caliber team.

So I will be taking on the Challenge of rebuilding the team in an attempt to bring the first Stanley Cup to Vancouver.


Before the Expansion Draft, the Vancouver Canucks make one trade:

Vancouver Cancuks trade Braden Holtby, Brandon Sutter to the Detroit Red Wings for 2021 2nd round pick. 

Vancouver Canucks get a 2nd round pick in exchange for Braden Holtby and Brandon Sutter.


Vancouver Canucks lose Olli Juolevi to the Seattle Kraken in the expansion draft.  

  

Before the 2021 draft, two trades are made:

Alex Edler is traded to the Buffalo Sabres for Linus Ullmark.

The Canucks and Sabres swap pending UFAs and they both fill much-needed holes on their roster with this trade.

The Canucks also trade Tanner Pearson, Jake Virtanen, Jay Beagle to the St.Louis Blues for Jordan Kyrou, Zach Sanford, 2021 3rd round pick.

This is a good deal for both teams because all players involved in the deal could use a change in scenery.

The Vancouver Canucks win the draft lottery and move up a slot in the draft.

2021 draft

3-Brandt Clarke

35-Samu Tuomaala

52-Ronan Schmidt

67-Jayden Grubbe

78-Josh Doan

The Vancouver Canucks draft 2 top-notch defensive prospects in Brandt Clarke and Ronan Schmidt, as well as three solid forwards in Samu Tuomaala, Jayden Grubbe, and Josh Doan.


After the draft, one major trade is made:


Vancouver Canucks acquire Pavel Buchnevich from the New York Rangers for Jordan Kyrou, Brogan Rafferty, 2023 2nd round pick.

The Canucks acquire Pavel Buchnevich from the Rangers to fill a much-needed void on the Right Wing alongside Elias Pettersson.


Vancouver Canucks re-sign a few players:

Linus Ullmark-5yrs/4.5M per

Elias Pettersson-3yrs/7M per

Quinn Hughes-3yrs/5M per

Pavel Buchnevich-4yrs/5M per

Zach Sanford-2yrs/1.8M per

Travis Hamonic-1yr/1.25M per

Tiro Hirose-1yr deal


Vancouver Canucks re-sign All other RFAs


Vancouver Canucks sign Casey Cizikas to a 4yr deal worth 3.5M per season, Joel Armia to a 3yr deal worth 2.8 million per season.  


The Vancouver Canucks miss the playoffs again in the 2021-22 season and finish the season with the 5th worst record in the league.


The Vancouver Canucks win the lottery again, but this team moves up 3 spots to land the 2nd pick in the draft.


Before the 2022 draft, one trade is made:

Vancouver Canucks trade JT Miller, Nate Schmidt to the Philadelphia Flyers for Phil Myers, 2022 1st round pick.


2022 draft

2-Matthew Savoie

15-Ivan Miroshichenko

34-Simon Forsmark

The Vancouver Canucks draft Matthew Savoie, Ivan Miroshishenko, and Simon Forsmark, three terrific prospects who will be a huge part of the team in the future.


Vancouver Canucks re-sign a few players:

Brock Boeser-7yrs/6M per

Tyler Motte-3yrs/1.75M per

Matthew Highmore-1yrs/1M per


Vancouver Canucks re-sign All other RFAs


Vancouver Canucks sign Brayden McNabb to a 3 yr deal worth 3M per season.


The Vancouver Canucks make the playoffs in the 2022-23 season, but get eliminated in the 2nd round by the Edmonton Oilers.


Vancouver Canucks buy out Tyler Myers; this buyout will cost them 333k per season until 2025.


2023 draft

22-Otto Stenberg

The Vancouver Canucks draft Otto Stenberg, a dynamic point-scoring forward.


Vancouver Canucks re-sign a few players:

Bo Horvat-7yrs/6.25M per

Nils Hoglander-3yrs/3.5M per

Phil Myers-3yrs/2.75M per


Vancouver Canucks re-sign All other RFAs


The Vancouver Canucks make a deep Stanley Cup run in the 2023-24 season, only to lose in the Stanley Cup Finals to the Carolina Hurricanes.


Vancouver Canucks re-sign Elias Pettersson to an 8 yr deal worth 8.5 million per season, Quinn Hughes to an 8 yr deal worth 6.5M per season.


Vancouver Canucks re-sign All other RFAs


By the 2024-25 season, the Vancouver Canucks have put together a Stanley Cup caliber team.


2024-25 Vancouver Canucks

S.Tuomaala-E.Pettersson-P.Buchnevich

N.Hoglander-B.Horvat-B.Boeser

I.Miroshichenko-M.Savoie-J.Armia

Fantasy Hockey Keeper League Advice

Keeper leagues add a layer of strategy and long-term planning to fantasy hockey. Every keeper league has its own unique rules and scoring settings, so adjust your strategy accordingly. By following these tips and adapting to your league's specific dynamics, you can increase your chances of long-term success. Here are some tips to help you dominate your Fantasy Hockey Keeper Leagues. Number of Keepers and League Settings When deciding on keepers, it is very important to know how many keepers the league allows you to keep and the league scoring system, because there are players that work better in H2H CAT leagues as opposed to H2H leagues with standard scoring categories.  If you can only keep a few players, focus on those who provide the most value in your specific scoring format. Keep players who excel in categories that are heavily weighted in your league (e.g., power-play points, hits, blocks, faceoffs). If the league uses Rotisserie or Points settings, you will have to take that...

2024 Offseason Preview ft. New Jersey Devils

The New Jersey Devils the playoffs in the 2023-24 season after making it into the second round of the playoffs last season, and finished the season with a total of 81 points, a 38-39-5 record; With Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier in the midst of their primes, the New Jersey Devils really need to start to buckle down and put together the pieces for a contending team. The good news is that the New Jersey Devils have the benefit of having the 10th overall pick, which they could move to acquire a netminder, and they also have plenty of cap space to add other players as well. This coming offseason is a big one for the New Jersey Devils front office because after striking out on a netminder last offseason, the pressure to acquire a netminder this offseason is immense for GM Tom Fitzgerald, who might be on the hotseat if he can't find a way to fix the mess. Before the 2024 NHL Draft, the New Jersey Devils make two major trades New Jersey Devils acquire Jacob Markstrom, Matthew Coronato, 1st...

2024 Offseason Preview ft. St. Louis Blues

 The St. Louis Blues just missed out on the playoffs again in the 2023-24 season, and finished the season with a total of 92 points, a 43-33-6 record; St. Louis is one of those teams that has no direction, as they are stuck with a lot of aging players with bad contracts and are stuck in mediocracy unless they can find a way to move some of those contracts. Moving forward the Blues' primary goals should be trying to unload their bad contracts to gain picks and cap space and retool through the draft.  St. Louis has 8 draft picks in the 2024 NHL draft, this is who they should select. 2024 NHL Draft: 16-Michael Hage (C) 48-Spencer Gill (D) 56-Carson Wetsch (RW) 81-Timur Kol (D) 94-Hagen Burrows (LW) 113-Felix Lacerte (C) 145-Dawson Cowan (G) 209-Jan Golcic (D) 211-Maxim Velikov (RW) Though no big names jump out at you, this group of prospects is pretty solid and could play a vital role on the team a few years down the road. Retooling the Prospect pool is a long process, but the cr...
