HOT: The market for this young defenseman is heating up

The left-handed defenseman is quite the catch. He's big, he's strong, he has a laser shot and he plays a good defensive game as well. He's the kind of defenseman you can build your team around. He's even affordable at $4.6M AAV until 2025.

The reports show that the current ask from the coyotes is:

That is extremely expensive, though teams are slowly realizing that it's the price to pay for such a talented player with that kind of AAV.

It's already been confirmed that the Los Angeles Kings, Toronto Maple Leafs, Edmonton Oilers, Seattle Kraken and Ottawa Senators are in the race and in need of a defenseman.

Where should the Canucks stand on this? Could he take some minutes off Hughes?
