It just hit another level as we get multiple reports from multiple insiders that the Vancouver Canucks
are actively looking at not one but two Buffalo Sabres young stars that could change everything
for this franchise moving forward but not just that. We also get a report coming from the top
insider of the Minnesota Wild revealing the Canucks have made an offer on Marco Rossi.
We're to break down all this the trade reports the rumors circulating all these players
later on this episode before we get into that if you're part of the 64 percent watching this
and you enjoy daily Canucks content make sure you're going to hit that subscribe button it's
completely free it helps us out a ton and in return we'll give you updates from all around
the team but with that let's just hop straight into the first topic where would you get a port
coming from Michael Russo of the Athletic and the top insider for the Minnesota Wild he says
Bill Guerin would likely trade a player in a first round pick flip the first rounder elsewhere he
doesn't want to just get a first rounder now this ties into the fact that the Canucks reportedly
made an offer with the 15th pick and a player that would likely made Rossi a Vancouver Canuck
now looking at Marco Rossi I'm not going to touch on him for too long because we've done multiple
videos on it but the big thing Marco Rossi is in the contract dispute which we'll touch on in a
second with the Minnesota Wild they're actively looking to trade and we've seen the reports
that the Canucks are interests but now getting the reports that they offered what was likely
the 15th overall pick and a player they didn't specify the player they said it was either a
center or winger in my opinion it was probably Philip Heidel as they're looking at trying to
navigate what to do with this roster we know the Minnesota Wild did shut down this offer now a
player that had it for a year 24 goals 60 a point Marco Rossi would be a good part of this team and
I know a lot of people disagree a small frame is something to be worried about the lack of
production and experience in the playoffs still a young center there is ups and downs on Marco
Rossi we know right now a free agent or an RFA going into July 1st the Wild reportedly offer
Rossi a five-year deal which he rejected we see the short-term deal that they offer and that was
rejected he's been looking for a long-term deal in the Matt Boldy range which is that 7 million
so the Vancouver Canucks do go out to get Marco Rossi if this is a trade that is around Philip
Heidel Patrick Albion looks at this guy and says hey I want him he is the center we want they're
looking at an extension around a 7x7 for center that yes did have it for a year we seen it with
the 60 points but there is still question marks floating around Marco Rossi but what is your guys
thoughts on this I won't touch on it too long would you like Marco Rossi I know a lot of people
say no but I do think there is some value on Marco Rossi they're going to have to get creative
the senate market is getting very low we see Matt Duchesne who the Canucks were reportedly after
just signed with Dallas again go ahead and leave a comment on Marco Rossi down below
but with that we'll hop straight into the second topic today which is the big one today
where we do see Kevin Adams I believe it's Kevin Adams is believed to engage in talks with several
teams about a several number of players with the links a pending restriction for agent winger JJ
Paterka and defenseman Bowen Byram at the front runner of discussions the Vancouver Canucks are
believed to have interest in both players know this from David Paganotta of the fourth period
this article and the Russo article will be listed down below go read it they're awesome reads but
with the Canucks actively looking at not only Bowen Byram who we did a video on but JJ Paterka
is very interesting we know this team they have a log jam let's not talk on defense right away
Paterka is a very interesting name that I think would be an incredible player on this Vancouver
Canucks team looking at Paterka 27 goals 41 assists for 68 points last year the points might
not look the best I mean 68 points at the age of 23 as a winger is very good but when looking at
this Buffalo Savers team that might not be the most gifted offensively Paterka does have a lot
of room to grow and in my opinion would be the perfect replacement for Brock Besser if he does
walk into free agency and leaves the Canucks for maybe even the Minnesota Wild right now we know
Paterka is an RFA there is some looming around them where you would have to trade for them and
sign them we're going to touch on the fact that you could offer sheet them as well but looking
at Paterka right now from Scotia stats shout out to them as well check them out on social media
they have them projected a 7.3 million dollar deal on a six-year deal you can see some contract
comparables on the right side as well Brennan Hagel Tippett Byfield Jarvis Troy Terry all these
names aged very well onto their contract with the cap going up this would be an ideal trade
if the Canucks can land the young 23 year old that did score 20 goals not only this season
but last season as well almost 30 in back-to-back years Patera adds a lot of value to this Canucks
team and yes as I said you do have the option to go out and offer sheet them but you also have
the option to package together a deal for not only him but Bowen Byram as well as we've seen from
their ports they're getting multiple calls on Paterka on Byram this is where the Canucks could
swoop in and fill in two holes on the lineup and I shouldn't say holes on defense we know how good
this Canucks defenses are in my opinion how good they're looking at Bowen Byram from BC that's a
big thing we've seen the reports that he wants to be in Vancouver the big thing was Bowen Byram 82
games played 38 points he played top four minutes for the Colorado Avalanche in 21-22 when they did
win the Stanley Cup I think Bowen Byram adds a lot of value to this Canucks team someone that can
step in immediately play on the right side which would be as often but still add offense Tyler
Myers could slide down the lineup maybe a guy like Victor Mancini becomes the seventh offense
winner continues to play with Abbotsford where he's playing incredible Byram and Paterka coming in
would be awesome the contracts of course you would have to pay a lot for we've seen the contract of
seven million that is reportedly what Paterka is going to get Bowen Byram comes in on a four-year
deal 6.6 million you can see the comparables Pionk, Liddell, Dahlin, Nurse, Shondursey these guys also
have very good contracts minus Nurse his new contract stinks but the big thing with the Canucks
they can go out and fill two holes on this team they can get a defenseman as I said to play in
this top four they can go out and fill Brock Abesser's void but you still have that center
position that the Canucks need to fill yes you can go out and offer sheet one of these guys the big
thing is with the Canucks they can only offer sheet between the two and 4.6 million dollar range
they lack the picks to get a four to seven million which would be a first and third round pick they
can go higher but they would have to reacquire their third round pick right now they do own
the San Jose Sharks third round pick which is higher value than their own so they could move
this in a package to get their third back during draft which will be next Friday the big thing with
the Canucks they have multiple options you can move on from guys you can move someone like Philip
you can move some prospects out but the big thing with the Canucks prospect pool currently right now
McKean's Hockey have them ranked at number 18 in the NHL when it comes to prospect pool Jonathan
Lekromackie, Tom Williner, DPD, Atu Ratu, Artur Shilovs are the guys headlining this but if you
continue to take value away from this if you're removing prospects from this list you get to the
point where the Canucks do not have prospects they might not look like a playoff team and you're stuck
in this weird window of trying to get into the playoffs but still not having young talent come up
but what's your guys thoughts on this what is your thoughts on the Canucks believed to be a team
interested in both Paterka and Bowen Byram what is your thoughts on the reports coming from Michael
Russo that the Canucks already offered pick 15 for Marco Rossi go ahead and leave a comment on all
of this below if you're watching the Abstergo go leave a comment on the score of this game because
