According to CapFriendly:
Pearson/Miller/Garland - I don't really see how they can afford to keep Miller, Horvat and Boeser. I think shopping Miller gives them the best return.
Petterson/Horvat/Boeser - If Allvin opts to ship out Boeser to keep Miller, I think it will cost them, so ultimately, keeping Miller will be at the cost retaining at least 25% of Boeser's contract + Miller's new contract... Too rich.
Podgolzin/Dickinson/Hoglander - I don't think this is a real line; Hoglander needs to pick up his play to stay in the Boudreau's lineup. Dickinson hasn't had an impact and is a buyout candidate already...
Kuzmenko/Lammiko/Highmore - I like what Lammiko/Highmore have brought, and hope they can continue (didn't really miss a beat in Motte's absence)

I agree that shipping out CG's contract would be ideal but I don't think AZ can take on any more deadweight.

Habs rumoured to be interested in Michael DiPietro. Makes sense, as the Habs have a rocky goalie situation and DiPietro is blocked in Van. Habs assistant coach Trevor Letowski coached DiPietro in junior. Why did he only play 4 games in 2020-21? Taxi squad?

Boeser signs 3 year contract with the Canucks at a lower AAV than his qualifying year salary. Nice move by Allvin.

Hmm. What do you think they would be willing to give up do you think?

Not much if DiPietro is waiver eligible. They have an excess third/fourth rounders.

Canuck's Army does a fun exercise going back over the last 4 years and analyzing the Canuck's worst moves and what the team would be like now.

To me 1, 2, 3 and 8 are the most egregious. Moves so awful that even I a middling awareness Canuck's fan knew they were truly terrible moves at the time. These were moves motivated out of desperation and/or stupidity on the part of Benning. Every organization makes mistakes, but those four mistakes should not have been made.

And holy crap would that defence be good as compared to what was rolled out last season.
