Sekeres & Price Show · David Pagnotta: Trade season has started, but are prices too good to be true? Canucks willing to retain salary on EP40 · 22 Jun 2026 podcast

If the right package presents itself, he's at 11.6, a AV. voice-verified

If that goes to nine, for example, uh, voice-verified

um does that make it that much more palatable for a team to a make a move for him and then b give up the assets that would entice Vancouver to pull the trigger like I think the plan with Johnson and the Sedins now you know in a higher role is to work with Petey and get him back on track and whatnot but that's not going to prevent them from listening to what teams are now calling about and voice-verified

I wouldn't be surprised if a Montreal or L.A. voice-verified

or other teams engage to the point where now with the possibility of minimal retention, but retention nonetheless, if that moves the needle here for a potential PD deal. voice-verified

Yeah, and I get it, but... voice-verified

Unless the Canucks fully believe that with the work they're going to put into him, with the Sedins and with their whole structure that's in place, with Malhotra now and so on, if they fully believe that they can get him back to the level of, let's say, a point a game, then they probably don't engage too directly in any of these conversations. voice-verified

Conversely, there are teams that believe he can get to that point, voice-verified

But outside of Vancouver, you know, a change of scenery would be, you know, do him justice and whatever other phrase you want to kind of tie to it. voice-verified

But there are teams that believe that in our environment, he'd be able to get back to that, you know, point of game plus status. voice-verified

The Canucks are clearly concerned about that because I think there's some belief internally that he can get to that point as well. voice-verified

It's just a matter of can it happen here? voice-verified

And all of that's going to be taken into account with respect to these, these trade discussions, especially if you're eating, you know, two, 2.6, whatever it is per year, because you're going to be paying the guy for, as you mentioned for the next six years to not play for you, to play against you. voice-verified

So whatever cost comes back, whatever return you're getting, um, has to be justified to be spending that extra cash to have him play elsewhere. voice-verified

Yes, there is an internal budget that's been put in place, but it's circumstantial based on where they're at. voice-verified

Because exactly to what you said, what the hell is the point of spending the cap if we're going to be last in the league? voice-verified

And we know we're going to be. voice-verified

So let's be resourceful here. voice-verified

Let's put our thinking caps on, be smart about it. voice-verified

It's a business. voice-verified
