Now I would also explore what it would take to obtain MacTavish. We should be in all the discussions.

You’re overthinking it. We have ton of cap space, a pretty decent prospect pipeline including Demidov who will be on an entry level contract, and big contracts expiring in 2 years. Plus Vancouver won’t want a future only deal as they want to win now. Let’s say for discussion that we trade Dach...

Sometimes I feel like that’s the only acceptable deal for some around here

Played minor hockey in BC as well but sure.

Contract doesn't bother me as much, 8M cap hit isn't that crazy and he's the type of player that can still be useful with reduced production, kinda like Pavelski. I don't think we're good trade partners though for what the Canucks would be looking for. I'd trade Dach for JT in an instant...

From draft 0 players from Sweden from 1982 to 2011 in the first 3 rounds. After that we drafted Collberg, De La Rose, Vejdemo, Olofsson, Norlinder and Engstrom.

I don’t think so either, but Gallagher still has some jam in him that might interest them, but it won’t add a lot of value to the trade

JT Miller is a premium player, not a dump. We’re in no position to make demands like that

Why would they do that? Although if we eat half they might consider it, being a local boy and all

We barely drafted any in the top 3 rounds or traded for them. Not sure why though.

They won’t. Cap hit a reasonable 8M coming off a 100+ points season

Any interest in JT Miller if made available? He's a bit older for our core group but I'd think hard about it.

Also interesting to realize that our last Cup team was all Canadians besides Leclair and Schneider. Not a single European.

It’s like the org gave up on Swedes after the failed Kjellbetg/Carnbak experiment

Popovic was more impactful than Sundstrom, so you see my point

I feel Team Canada was specifically build to face USA. We'll see how that goes.

David Bonderman is, but it's a big group of owners. But the main guy is Leiweke which is a long term pro sports executive.

I don't think we had any impactful Swedish players besides Naslund (one season of Dahlin doesn't count).

He's having a better season than last year, when the whole team went to shit.

Very good, which is why I'd like to keep him. Our 3rd line is also very good but I don't want to keep Dvorak.
