The Vancouver Canucks could get creative by dropping down the draft order, adding more assets.
If the Blackhawks can be convinced to take on the remaining US$6 million owed Tyler Myers in the final year of his deal — US$1 million base and US$5 million signing bonus due Sept. 1 — then the 55th overall pick belonging to Chicago should be in trade play.
“And if they receive the 35th pick, it would provide another opportunity to draft another defenceman.”Article content“Finding a veteran winger to play in the top two lines with some cost certainty on a two-year term would be ideal,” added Malloy. “If the forward does not work out to their expectation, it will not hinder their tactics or cap flexibility long-term.”
“The difference between 11th and the 19th pick is a tier range for Chicago,” added Malloy. “It would allow them to draft a player that could potentially be a second-line forward or a No. 3 defenceman. Their strategy is to accumulate high-level talent over quantity throughout the draft.” The dynamic puck-mover isn’t big — 5-foot-11, 181 pounds — but his ample skill level projects as a No. 3 blueliner in the NHL and a power-play quarterback.Article content
