Patrik Allvin admitted that the Canucks were involved in conversations for every quality player up for grabs at the trade deadline, but yet, nothing materialized.
After seeing the elevated number of assets involved in the Jake Guentzel deal, everybody understood why Allvin backed down. However, it caused pretty consternation when Tyler Toffoli was traded from the Devils to the Jets for a 2nd and 3rd Round Pick.
The Canucks could have used an experienced winger like Toffoli in their top six, but Allvin deemed that the price had gotten too elevated for the Canucks. Now he's piling up the points in Winnipeg instead.
