Poolman trade settles some issues:

If they choose, Canucks can open season with full 23-player roster, and retain both depth Ds Noah Juulsen and Mark Friedman instead of putting one on waivers. #PoolmanTrade

Canucks no longer LTIR to deal with opening season roster and Vancouver Canucks accrue cap space:

By making trade, #Canucks no longer need to use LTIR. They effectively took $900K Brannstrom + $500K retained on Poolman vs potentially Poolman on LTIR, but now are under cap & can accrue space.

They have $1.19M Proj Space with 23 active (12F/8D/3G)https://t.co/5tmgEtrv3m

Ex-Canucks goal Jiri Patera could be available to Vancouver if Bruins put him on waivers due to Swayman signing:

Keep an eye on G Jiri Petera going on waivers,if so, the #Canucks can reclaim him and send him to minors without waivers IF they are the only team to put in a claim. https://t.co/MgIFIU66Hy
