The Canucks are reportedly looking for help on defense, particularly on the right side. After Filip Hronek the team is weak there. One defenseman that could help would be Columbus's Andrew Peeke. He's a big, right-shot defenseman with some pedigree as a former 34th overall pick. However, he could end up being a smaller piece of a much bigger deal.
To Vancouver: Andrew Peeke, Kent Johnson.
To Columbus: Anthony Beauvilier, Jonathan Lekkerimaki, 2024 1st round pick.
Johnson might be a tough ask as a former 5th overall pick. However, he is already 21 and he hasn't established himself in the NHL yet. He is not as much of a slam dunk prospect as fans might think, given his draft position. There is a lot of uncertainty in this deal for both teams so Columbus might not want to take the chance either.
