The Vancouver Canucks' completed trade that sent Dakota Joshua to the Toronto Maple Leafs for just a measly 4th-round pick in the 2028 NHL entry draft appears to already be backfiring for General Manager Patrik Allvin
Yes, it it a well known fact that the purpose of the trade is to shed Joshua's $3.25 million contract off the books to get a shiny new UFA, but that has not changed the fact that people are not pleased with the decision.
Canucks fans have already started to go after GM Patrik Allvin online, pointing out all the flaws with the decision and strongly stating their displeasure.
"Another horrible move by Swedish Jim Benning now go sign Roslovic and act like he's a 2C see how that works out for us" @HughesEnjoyer said.
"ARE UOU GUYS F**�KING KIDDING ME??? 😡🤬 This is Jim Benning level of incompetence" @willguibr said.
Vancouver Canucks lose trade to the Toronto Maple Leafs
Even with the purpose to shed a contract, the trade may already be backfiring for the Vancouver Canucks, as multiple respected outlets have stated the Canucks lost the trade to the Maple Leafs.
Maple Leafs Grade: B+
Canucks Grade: B
Although not that much lower of a grade, according to the writers at Canucks Daily, the grade should be significantly lower, judging the trade as a C-..
In reality, the move was indeed meant to make cap space, but with just over $3.5 million, it does not leave a lot of wiggle room for Vancouver to make any major splashes.
Even if so, it does not guarantee that any free-agents will be willing to sign here, with all the drama and outside noise that took place during the 2024-25 season.
