So Vegas owner was asked why they gave Schmidt away to a division rival. His answer:

@BrianBlessing
on Vegas Hockey Hotline on facing Nate Schmidt/Canucks: "Yeah, but they're going to be in the Canadian division."
Also,Montreal was trying real hard to trade for Virtanen but Benning refused because Arizona insisted he be part of any OEL trade. But talks with Montreal are back on again, for what I don't know but it aint Gallagher.

Who else does Montreal have that could be of value to the Canucks? Or could it be a JV + cap dump for a decent pick type trade?

no thanks to gallagher
let's move away from 6 feet and under
Gallagher plays like a 6ft 9 giant though. He’d be an amazing add, he is elite at driving the play, the epitome of going to the hard area of the ice. I wonder if Jake plus Louie plus pick with Gallagher plus money coming back to even it out is of interest to them. Claude julien likes Louie supposedly from the Boston days. In that scenario I would be willing to send a first with Louie and Jake for Gallagher and a small dump.

Curmy and Micky are Marlin Perkins old
Lol can confirm, you got that right. Doc does too, I have the battle scars to prove it and earned every single one them.
And there are reminders every day like when catching Nate Schmidt's media conference the phone rings and he mocks his folks with a "that's my parents LANDLINE" and I'm like "f'ing kids....I have a landline".
I like to tell the young folk of today how every family I knew when I was a kid had one phone.
It was black and it was bolted to the kitchen wall.
And if you were away from the house and needed to call somebody, you had to use a pay phone. Blank stare back, right?
Re: Virtanen, I think they'd like to move on him and would if Podkolzin was here. I don't see how they can run with Boeser, Leivo and MacEwen on the top three lines.

I think BG just resigned with the habs today
With a full nmc, but maybe a sign and trade? I really doubt he’s moved but I really like him as a player, he’s a class act and can really drive play in the o zone. With the quality of players we have here he’d fit in perfectly.

Careful there Curmey.. by Correcting Gomer on his bullshit, you might be starting an "EPIC" battle...
Battle? Epic as in Joe Kapp-Angelo Mosca epic?
With Gallagher, I like him as a player but I think the Canucks need to add a little size plus I'm not so sure he can continue to play that style for another 6 years without incurring a lot more injury as he gets older.

He punches waaaay above his weight class and is a warrior but you nailed it with his style leading to more injuries down the road.
Its all out the window anyways with todays commitment
