The Edmonton Oilers will face off against the Dallas Stars in the Western Conference Finals following their 3 2 victory, against the Canucks, in Vancouver.
After the defeat the specifics of a trade that had been finalized prior, to the deadline were officially verified.
The Canucks and the Calgary Flames reached an agreement, on a deal involving forward Elias Lindholm.
In exchange Vancouver traded Andrei Kuzmenko, the rights to prospects Joni Jurmo and Hunter Brzustewicz their first round pick for 2024 and a conditional fourth round pick, in the year.
According to CapFriendly the conditional fourth round pick could have upgraded to a third round pick if the Canucks made it to the Conference Finals. Unfortunately they fell short of that goal. Ended up with a fourth round pick instead.
It's a break, for the Canucks being a game shy of securing a higher draft pick.
Lindholm really stepped up in the 13 playoff games he played for the Canucks this season contributing with 10 points five of which were goals.
Looking forward to whats next.
