The Canucks have acquired Noah Juulsen and Juho Lammikko from the Panthers for Olli Juolevi.

With the Panthers adding a bunch of bodies up front in recent months, Lammikko was set to lose his roster spot in 2022. The 25-year-old forward had four goals and one assist (five points) in 44 games with the Panthers a season ago but is known more for his defensive game and penalty killing abilities. With Brandon Sutter and Tyler Motte both out to start the season, Lammikko has a good chance to make an impression early.

The Canucks have acquired Noah Juulsen and Juho Lammikko from the Panthers for Olli Juolevi.

Juulsen is a former first-round pick who had his career thrown off track due to headache issues but gets a fresh start in Vancouver. It's a homecoming for the Surrey, BC native, who had no points in four NHL games and one assists in five AHL games a season ago.

The Panthers have acquired Olli Juolevi from the Canucks for Noah Juulsen and Juho Lammikko.

Juolevi was the No.5 overall pick in 2016 but has struggled to make an impact at the NHL level to-date. A lot of that can be blamed on a variety of injuries that hurt his development along the way. Still, he's just 23-years-old and goes to Florida, where he could break into their top-6 at some point.

The Blues have acquired Logan Brown and a conditional draft pick from the Senators for Zach Sanford.

Brown was selected No.11 overall in 2016 but had a hard time gaining footing at the NHL-level. Since turning pro in 2019, Brown has scored just one goal and eight assists (nine points) in 30 games with the Senators. Brown will fight for a roster spot at the bottom of the Blues roster but will likely find himself on the outside looking in and start in the AHL.

The Senators have acquired Zach Sanford from the Blues for Logan Brown and a conditional draft pick.

After a breakout season with 16 goals, 14 assists (30 points) in 2020, Sanford struggled to find the same level of production in 2021. Sanford was thrust into a top-6 role with the Blues but is probably better as a third-liner, where he should find himself with the Senators.
