Harman Dayal of The Athletic: Vancouver’s ongoing journey for a third-line center could include some trade or free-agent targets. It all comes down to cost for the Canucks, who have the salary cap to deal with.
One of the players that stick out is Nicolas Roy, who at 24, looks on the verge of breaking out. At the very least, he has upside and is cheap at least for next season. Yes, Roy will cost a bit more but this may be worth it.
Then there are players like Mikael Granlund and Toronto’s Alex Kerfoot among others.
