That pick/prospect would be substantial though.
It would give Holland 6-7m in flexibility to perhaps sign a Dzingel and address a second need
It would mean Van is doing what they should have started doing 3yrs ago - taking on bad contracts to obtain extra assets and assisting the rebuild.
What a 4th line Van would have -
Lucic - Sutter - Ericksson
I'm not sure it was "leaked" Lucic was on Vancouver radio and they asked him about playing for the Canucks being from the area and Lucic said "It's something that could potentially happen in the future" which is about as much of a non-answer as I would expect any hockey player to give.
The story got some legs when Loui Eriksson came out and talked about how unhappy he was in Vancouver and with the coach. A Lucic-Eriksson swap would be great for Edmonton, if only because Eriksson’s contract is a year shorter and his cap hit is a million less.
