Sportsnet 650: Brian Burke on the rumors involving the Vancouver Canucks and Oliver Ekman-Larsson: “OEL is a marvelous player, I hated playing against him… I’m not sure that’s what Vancouver needs when they’ve already got a Hughes.”
David Alter: (off of Friedman’s tweet of the Bruins and Canucks on Ekman-Larsson’s trade list) “If the Canucks moved Loui Eriksson as part of this it could actually make a lot of sense for both sides, financially.
ARZ paid $4mil in signing bonus to OEL for 20-21, VAN paid $3 mil to Eriksson, who has $5 million in actual cash over 2 years left with $6mil Cap hit per season.
